We will come together to think about the Season of Creation, Family Fast Day and how they connect in this Jubilee year of Hope. We will be called to reset, renew our faith and commit to building a fairer world where all people may flourish.Simon, Kathryn and Emily will lead you through the morning using CAFOD's Jubilee Guide resources and the Laudato Si' Centre's beautiful setting.

Quotes from our previous event:
I enjoyed taking time to reflect on the meaning of this Jubilee year and its message for us to be pilgrims of hope, understanding what that means for the world and us as individuals. I found talking with other volunteers about our own experiences and perspectives on the themes of the Jubilee to be very rewarding, alongside spending time at the Laudato Si Centre, which helped me to reflect on the beauty of nature and God’s creation.

Thanks for a great day. It was a joy to be with you all. Was really restorative!
Thank you Simon, Kathryn and Emily for organising and presenting such a lovely and inspiring day. The Laudato Si’ Centre is an extraordinary place and a unique symbol of hope for us all.
