WHO IS THIS EVENT FOR?

This workshop-based day is aimed at everyone in the Diocese of Leeds (or surrounding dioceses)

WHY SHOULD YOU COME?

2025 has been designated by Pope Francis as a Jubilee Year – a time of renewal across the whole church. The theme is ‘Pilgrims of Hope’.

How can you help do that in your parish?

Where do we find Hope in today’s world with so many conflicts inflicting terrible human costs, an uncertain world order and huge numbers of people across the world affected by famine and displacement?

This day will explore how the LiveSimply award scheme could be a way of bringing that Hope to your parish.

The award asks parishes to draw up a plan of action that enables them to

• Live more simply

• Live more sustainably

• Live in solidarity with those experiencing poverty

The scheme is very flexible. Each parish or school draws up their own plan of work based on the resources (both people, groups and buildings/land) that are available. It also means that there are opportunities to involve everyone in a parish whatever their interests or age. It can provide a really fruitful way for disparate groups, and individuals, to come together and work towards a common goal.
