Catholics and Climate Change Sunday, September 8, 2019 Dear parishioners, Last Sunday was “The World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation,” promoted by Pope Francis these past several years. On that day, a season of concern began, in which sensible religious leaders (Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox) ask the faithful to consider how we human beings can become ever better stewards of this world God has given to our care. As part of this, I share with you the words of a holy man who recognized the need for us to focus on this very real problem — and vocation: “In our day, there is a growing awareness that world peace is threatened not only by the arms race, regional conflicts and continued injustices among peoples and nations, but also by a lack of due respect for nature, by the plundering of natural resources and by a progressive decline in the quality of life. (…) Faced with the widespread destruction of the environment, people everywhere are coming to understand that we cannot continue to use the goods of the earth as we have in the past. (…) The gradual depletion of the ozone layer and the related “greenhouse effect” has now reached crisis proportions as a consequence of industrial growth, massive urban concentrations and vastly increased energy needs. Industrial waste, the burning of fossil fuels, unrestricted deforestation, the use of certain types of herbicides, coolants and propellants: all of these are known to harm the atmosphere and environment. The resulting meteorological and atmospheric changes range from damage to health to the possible future submersion of low-lying lands. (…) The ecological crisis reveals the urgent moral need for a new solidarity, especially in relations between the developing nations and those that are highly industrialized. (…) When the ecological crisis is set within the broader context of the search for peace within society, we can understand better the importance of giving attention to what the earth and its atmosphere are telling us: namely, that there is an order in the universe which must be respected, and that the human person, endowed with the capability of choosing freely, has a grave responsibility to preserve this order for the well-being of future generations. I wish to repeat that the ecological crisis is a moral issue. (…) At the conclusion of this Message, I should like to address directly my brothers and sisters in the Catholic Church, in order to remind them of their serious obligation to care for all of creation.” The holy man quoted above is Pope Saint John Paul II, back in 1990, pointing out the fact that we are indeed only stewards of creation — we are not the Creator, nor do we own the skies and oceans God made for all of humankind. If we care about our children and the dignity of human life, it is out duty to be open to the voices who can help us protect this planet for future generations. There are those today, faithful and well-meaning Christians included, who cannot understand why the Popes and the Catholic Church speak up about the environment. Shouldn't we be focused on saving souls? Yet this saving of souls touches upon all aspects of our life as human beings: the way we use our money and time, the choices we make in terms of sexuality and moral decision making, the decisions we embrace when it comes to helping the poor and spending time in prayer. As a writer for the National Catholic Register wrote (Philip Kosloski, 2016), “Saint Augustine affirms the power of creation in drawing souls to God when he poses the challenge: Question the beauty of the earth, question the beauty of the sea, question the beauty of the air distending and diffusing itself, question the beauty of the sky...question all these realities. All respond: ‘See, we are beautiful.’ Their beauty is a profession [confessio]. These beauties are subject to change. Who made them if not the Beautiful One who is not subject to change?”

As co-creators with our creative God, we are invited and challenged to relate as adults to an adult God, modelled for Christians in the adult life-example of Jesus.” Father Diarmuid O'Murchu, a member of the Sacred Heart Missionary Order, and a graduate of Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland, is a social psychologist. As a workshop leader/group facilitator Father O’Murchu has worked in Europe, the U.S., Canada, Australia, The Philippines, Thailand, India, Peru, and in several African countries, facilitating programs on Adult Faith Development. His books include Christianity's Dangerous Memory (2011), In the Beginning was the Spirit (2012), God in the Midst of Change (2013) and On Being a Postcolonial Christian (2014).

Saint Hilary School News There is no doubt that a Catholic education remains relevant today, if not more so given the
turbulent times we live in. At Saint Hilary School, our students learn that God is present and active in their lives, and in the world. They learn to recognize the footprints of God in their daily experiences, and the signs of God’s love around them in their school, neighborhoods, and the world. Saint Hilary students learn to experience God’s grace and presence in their lives through their relationships with their family, friends and teachers. The loving and supportive relationships they experience here at Saint Hilary School are reflections of the love and life giving dynamic of the Trinity. Saint Hilary School promotes service to others as an essential component of our curriculum. We integrate service programs from kindergarten through 8th Grade helping people from all walks of life. Our students learn that since community is at the heart of who we are, there are no strangers, only brothers and sisters in the Lord. Our students are challenged to be Christ-like in word and action. They are asked to examine their choices and action in light of the Ten Commandments and the Gospel law of love. They ask themselves “What would Jesus do?” when faced with an ethical dilemma. Saint Hilary students learn that excellence is a response to God’s blessings. The Sermon on the Mount does not say “Blessed are you who get all A’s”. While education remains a cornerstone of what we provide at Saint Hilary, it comes with an altruistic orientation. Our students learn to help others, and make a difference in the world around them. A Saint Hilary education is relevant today and more so in the future.
Prayer in front of the Blessed
