The Social Justice Statement, The Cry of the Earth and the Cry of the Poor, has been released before the beginning of the Season of Creation (September 1-October 4, Feast of Francis of Assisi).

You may like to join with Christians of all denominations all over the world in celebrating the Season of Creation. The theme for 2021 is "A Home for All: Renewing the Oikos of God". The logo is "Abraham's Tent". Veronica Lawson RSM, former principal and governor of the College, suggests we change make our logo "Sarah and Abraham's Tent", especially in view of the unspeakable suffering of the people of Afghanistan where all are at risk while women and girls are at particular risk.

As Most Rev Vincent Long Van Nguyen says, ““Our challenge is to accompany people from the margins into a journey towards the fullness of life and love. We are meant to be in the coalface, in the messiness of it all and at the same time in fidelity to the Gospel… Like Christ in his ministry among the sick and the lost, we are called to meet God in the most unlikely people and places. We, too, must be in that frontier space. “

There will be daily reminders in the student bulletin, and we are looking to run a photo wall of student's environmental photography and prayers.

We would also welcome sharing from families, parents and grandparents, and friends, about the environment. Images, prayers, and stories would all be welcome. These may be shared on our Seasons of Creation Wall
