Eco Congregation Ireland’s Climate Justice Candle
Gardiner Street Parish is hosting Eco Congregation Ireland’s Climate Justice Candle this week to the ‘Shine a Light’ on the importance of being proactive when it comes to caring for the environment. Our Eco Parish Team here at Gardiner Street are involved in this ecumenical initiative to promote the pivotal role that faith communities throughout Ireland can play in bringing about climate justice.
Climate change is already causing suffering around the world because of weather changes and rogue weather events on food and water availability, sea level rise, health and the destruction of livelihoods and infrastructure.
The global Christian family is called to awaken to the urgent need to heal our relationships with creation and with each other and to encourage parish communities to do the same.
