“Environmental justice can no longer be regarded as an abstract concept or a distant goal. It is an urgent need that involves much more than simply protecting the environment. For it is a matter of justice – social, economic and human. For believers it is also a duty born of faith, since the universe reflects the face of Jesus Christ, in whom all things were created and redeemed. In a world where the most vulnerable of our brothers and sisters are the first to suffer the devastating effects of climate change, deforestation and pollution, care for creation becomes an expression of our faith and humanity”.
From the Message of his holiness Pope Leo XIV for the 10th world day of prayer for the care of creation 2025.
On Wednesday 10th September the members of Wilton Justice Group joined with members of the local family of Parishes (Ballineaspaig, Curraheen Road, Sacred Heart and Wilton Parishes) in a Prayer Service to mark the Season of Creation. The event, organised by Wilton Justice Group, took place on the grounds of SMA Wilton and the theme was “Peace with Creation”. It moved between three different locations and consisted of elements such as Reflections, Prayers of Lamentation, Song and Poetry.
The Service, which lasted about an hour, was recorded by Mr Paul O Flynn. As feedback from participants was very positive we wish to share with you some of the elements that made up this reflective and meaningful occasion. To facilitate easy viewing, we split 
the recording into parts, You can view them all or else pick those you want to see now or later. We hope you will take time to view listen, reflect on and enjoy what was a very prayerful event. To view just click on the links below.
