The Season of Creation is our special time for the Creator and each other, when we live out our faith’s call to care for creation. From September 1 to October 4, Christians around the world celebrate the Season of Creation. Some of us pray, some of us do hands-on projects, some of us advocate.We all protect creation. It’s powerfully good work that’s urgently needed. https://www.catholicbishops.ie/2019/07/17/season-of-creation-2019/

It was a real blessing for us all.
We were delighted to welcome our own Holy Faith Sisters Extended Leadership Team, for a week of meetings in July. It was a blessed and fruitful time for all, full of hope and good humour. ” Let us therefore take heart again and begin anew” (Margaret Aylward 1:1857)
