Charlotte Vard sent us this report:
The decision to incorporate the climate justice candle into our parish activities was truly inspired. It has become a symbol of our commitment to addressing the urgent issues surrounding climate change and advocating for justice in the face of environmental challenges. The flickering flame serves as a reminder of the interconnectedness of our world and the responsibility we bear to care for it.
During our gatherings, whether that be mass, our youth group, its time in the Holy Family Convent with the sisters or the prayer evening with Holy Family Lay Associates and parishioners, the climate justice candle has become a focal point for reflection and discussion. It has sparked meaningful conversations about the impact of climate change on vulnerable communities, the importance of sustainable living, and the role we can play in fostering positive change.
One of the most powerful aspects of the climate justice candle is its ability to unite our community in purpose. As we gathered around its warm glow, we are reminded that we are not alone in our concern for the planet. The candle serves as a beacon, guiding us toward a collective commitment to environmental stewardship and justice. Additionally, the candle has begin the initial stages of inspiring concrete actions within our parish. The climate justice candle has begun a catalyst for positive change within our community and beyond.
In closing, I want to express our gratitude to the Holy Family Lay Associates, in particular Sr. Margaret for her tireless work on this important cause. It has added a meaningful dimension to our spiritual journey and has motivated us to be more intentional in our efforts to care for the Earth. We look forward to continuing this important work together and to see the positive ripple effects that our collective actions can have on the world.
