LENT 4.5

A program of conversion which educates Catholic communities on issues of sustainability and social justice from a faith perspective, inspiring them to take practical steps in caring for God’s creation by using only their fair share of Earth’s resources. Lent 4.5 offers a faith-based response to the injustice, inequity and devastation of creation caused by rampant consumerism. It honors the good intentions Christians have to do something extra during Lent and directs the focus toward a conversion of heart that is concerned about environmental sustainability, social justice and spiritual fulfillment. Caring for creation and living more simply are an essential part of faith for those who follow in the footsteps of Jesus today. As one small part of the program, we will be offering a menu of different opportunities for large group activities at all participant parishes. (JUST show up to attend!) These include:

March 18 (OL of Lourdes) “How can we save money on Energy?” – 7‐8:30pm

March 25 (Passionist Earth & Spirit Center)–Environmental Justice Tour of Louisville 6-7:30pm.
Reservations Required at 452.2749. Limited to bus space.

Consider one or all of the above to make this Lent a time to refocus our Christian lives. We will have a blog that our parishes will participate in: http://lent45.blogspot.com/2009/10/lent‐45.html
