Are you concerned about the gift of Creation?
We envision a universe that will grow into being a sustaining and sustainable community of life and love, in and through its diversity and connectedness. We have a vision that sees Jesus’ prayer “that all may be one” in the fibre of all species, including humans and in Earth herself. It is an emerging, holistic vision, taking shape in the light of who we are as the Congregation of the Great Love of God. We seek to educate, advocate, inspire and assist others to care for all creation as individuals and as communities integral to the Earth Community.
Our Ecology Committee meets three times a year, producing articles, newsletters, and prayer services to advance awareness of this sacred gift of Earth – our common home. Refer to the resources section for these treasures.
The Web
The web of the dream-catcher appropriately reflects the committee’s vision in “The Dream Seed”: to express the oneness of interconnectedness of creation. The web of life includes every living being, not just humans. Born out of a gift Sr. Shirley O’Rourke (Peterborough) received: the dream-catcher was made of wood with the natural shading and patterns revealing images of different animals. Sr. Anthony Daniels (Sault Ste. Marie) painted the logo revealing even more images and using green to indicate that it is a living web.
