Climate Change, Poverty and Migration: It’s All Connected
Saturday, April 24, 2020

S. Caroljean Willie, SC
(Program Director of Earth Connection)
Cost: $25
“Both everyday experience and scientific research show that the gravest effects of all attacks on the environment are suffered by the poorest.” This quote from Pope Francis in Laudato Si' speaks so clearly of the connection between climate change and poverty and the effects it is having on migration patterns throughout the world. The US Catholic Bishops remind us that “At its core, global climate change is not about economic theory or political platforms, nor about partisan advantage or interest group pressures. It is about the future of God’s creation and the one human family.” What are we called to do? Do we recognize all of God's people as our family? Do we care for the sacred gift of creation? Are we willing to allow God to call us out of our comfort zone and accept the invitation to respond with love and compassion?

Contemplative Prayer with Sister Olga
Contemplative prayer can be practiced anywhere… while mindfully washing dishes, singing, being with a friend, or walking in a park. Contemplation is simply being fully present in God—listening with heart, mind, and body. The deep listening of pure contemplation is the path to Stillness and the delight of “Just Being!”
Mandalas with Renee Baker
The mandala, the circle and symbol of wholeness, reminds us of our unity with God. Through creativity, it reveals to us the heart’s profound need and desire to walk with and in God. This type of prayer will help us to pause, reflect and focus on the exchange between Divinity and us!
Taize Prayer with S. Janet Born
Taizé Prayer is evening prayer for all Christian faiths. It is a simple, meditative form of worship with music, calling us to dwell deeply on Christ's presence around and within us. Taizé Prayer is named for the ecumenical Christian community formed in Taizé, France during World War II.
Praying with Nature with S. Marty Dermody, SC
Sister Marty is an avid bird watcher and photographer. By Praying with Nature, S. Marty has deepened her relationship with God. This provides her an opportunity to gift others with the blessings of our natural world through the lens of her camera.
