About the Event
Pope Francis invites us to explore this path in his Encyclical: ‘Care for Our Common Home’. He reminds us that Jesus ‘makes all things new’ (Rev. 21:5). And he encourages us in the meantime to come together and take charge of this home which has been entrusted to us … God does not abandon us. God does not leave us alone. God’s love impels us to find new ways forward (Laudato Si -- #243- 245). Consider spending an afternoon exploring the meaning of the Advent Season of hope for all of God’s Creation.
