God’s Dream

God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. – Gen 1:31

Reality – how things stand

Creation today is crying out as never before, labouring to be set free (Rm 8). Today’s environmental crisis is impacting in a particular way the poor and vulnerable. Action is needed urgently by Christians and by all people of good will. Whole nations and peoples need an ecological conversion if we are to be honest custodians of this wonderful planet.

Our Response

At this vital time in our world’s history, the Society of Jesus commits itself to answer this call of our Creator. A whole new way of living opens up as a consequence of a personal and passionate relationship with Jesus. We embrace Jesus’ vision of the Kingdom of God, of a renewed and transformed world and ecosystem where we are all brothers and sisters all.

Our goal here at the Jesuit Western Region Zone Parishes

To see how we are progressing & And to encourage us to move forward ‘To collaborate in the care of our Common Home’. (Prayer; Action, Awareness & Advocacy; Lifestyle )
