"Living the Dream for the Beauty of the Earth"

The Cork Cathedral Family of Parishes was delighted to officially launch its Climate Justice Education Project, bringing together members of our parishes, community organisations and invited guests for a morning of reflection, discussion and shared commitment to caring for our common home.

Under the theme “Living the Dream for the Beauty of the Earth,” the event explored how faith, community and practical action can come together in response to the environmental challenges facing our world.

We were delighted to welcome Dr Lorna Gold, Executive Director of the Laudato Si’ Movement, as our keynote speaker. Drawing on her extensive experience in climate action, faith and ecological justice, Dr Gold spoke about responding to the call of Laudato Si’ and the role individuals and communities can play in creating meaningful change.

Inspired by Pope Francis’ Laudato Si’ and its call to care for our common home. Under the theme “Living the Dream for the Beauty of the Earth,” the project will provide opportunities to learn, reflect and take action on climate justice, biodiversity and our shared responsibility for creation.

The launch will feature Dr Lorna Gold, Executive Director of the Laudato Si’ Movement, as keynote speaker, with Bishop Fintan Gavin in attendance. Dr Gold is a leading voice on climate action, faith and ecological justice and has worked extensively in advocacy, climate policy and sustainable development.
