Celebrating the Season of Creation: A Message from the Laudato Si’ Action Committee

This Season of Creation, the Laudato Si’ Action Committee has produced a special video featuring schools from across Australia, along with inspiring messages from our Brothers across the Province. Jeni Miller, Chair of Laudato Si’, warmly invites you to be part of this meaningful message.

On behalf of the Laudato Si’ Committee, I am delighted to invite you to join us in celebrating the Season of Creation. This special season began on 1 September and concludes on the Feast of St Francis of Assisi, 4 October. At a time that suits you, we encourage you to watch and reflect on the videos prepared by Marist Brothers and students from across our Star of the Sea Province. You may wish to take this time for personal reflection, or you might like to gather with others to celebrate the Season of Creation and share the experience together.

To support your reflection, I have attached a short liturgy to accompany the video. Most of the prayers and content have been drawn from the seasonofcreation.org website.

The Laudato Si’ Action Committee hopes you are able to take part in the celebrations of the Season of Creation, and in your own way give thanks for the gift of creation during this special time in the Church.

We are especially grateful to the teachers who involved their students in creating the video: Dominique Meredith from John Therry Catholic College, Rosemeadow; Nathan Ahearn and Brendan Bergin from Marist College Canberra; and Kathryn Badini from Marist College Ashgrove. We also thank Brothers John Hazelman, Chris Poppelwell, Damien Shutt, and Petero Navuku from Fiji, along with Br Bomes Tukana from MAPAC.

Our thanks as well to the MYM Sydney team for their wonderful narration.

May you find some Peace with Creation.
