ABOUT THIS WEBINAR
Drawing inspiration from this year’s Season of Creation theme, "To Hope and Act with Creation," and the collaborative "Guardians of Creation" project, the event will showcase how innovative parishes can serve as inspirational models for others.
Featuring parish speakers and experts, the event will highlight their experiences and success stories, with the goal of inspiring other parishes to take meaningful action for the environment and promote greener practices within their communities - whether in everyday life, heritage conservation, or green spaces.
This event is designed for anyone interested in learning how parishes can reduce their environmental footprint.
Hosted by CAFOD, the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales and St Mary’s University.
