On Saturday 16 September 2023, for the second year running, the “Time for Creation” celebration was held -September 1 to October 4, 2023-. We were joined by associates from various congregations in the diocese of Callao/Lima: the associates of the Daughters of the Holy Spirit, as well as the Ursuline Sisters, the Sainte-Angèle de Merici school (SAM) and other communities. A school band provided the entertainment.
The event was organised by the lay community of Saint Catherine of Siena in our district of Carmen de la Legua – Reynoso Callao, near the banks of our river Rimac.
After some cold and rainy days, the Holy Spirit accompanied us that day, delighting us with warm sunshine. We were able to listen to the river, reflect on this global movement of creation, pray to the Lord and ask him to strengthen us to continue to act and protect his creation.
