In 2021, major global conferences – #COP15 on biodiversity, #COP26 on the climate crisis and the 47th #G7Summit – will be held.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, we have been reminded that “everything is interconnected” (Pope Francis, Laudato Sí).

The Catholic Petition is an initiative by religious orders and Catholic development organisations from around the world asking the leaders of these global gatherings to urgently align national and global commitments with limiting warming to 1.5ºC at most, and no more biodiversity loss that’s harming the present and future of our common home.

Show your support for these goals and help Pope Francis in his efforts to make the world change course by signing The Catholic Petition here:

Yesterday we enjoyed a beautiful Mass to celebrate the World Day for Migrants and Refugees at St Alphonse. The church has been beautifully decorated with the work of Manette Fusenig. In response to the Cardinal ‘s request and thanks to the generosity of members of our community we have collected many packs of pens, pencils and coloured markers for children in refugee centres.

The display of boats will remain in the church for the next month and you can see photos of the art installation and the Mass by clicking on the link below.
