The Season of Creation continues to be celebrated across the globe. This week we discovered touching stories in the Philippines, where the Institute of Formation and Religious Studies gathered for a celebration; in a message from the Archbishop of Jakarta; in a prayer gathering in Rome; in a Pilgrimage for the Planet along the Thames River in London; and a tree planting at the Shrine of Our Lady of Huachana in Argentina, among so many other things that we don’t have time to tell you about!
