HOLY FAMILY PARISH KILL-O-THE-GRANGE

 

Parish Mission Statement

Our Parish seeks to live as a family – supporting one another, open to all comers, building a community where each person feels wanted and cared for. To make this happen, we will work to grow in holiness through prayer and service and we will try to show God’s love in our daily lives.

Me and the big picture mosaic

 

Have you ever looked closely at a mosaic?  It is essentially a sometimes very big picture but always made up of very small pieces.  The big picture is God’s design and plans for the world, the very small pieces are us, and our individual acts and decisions.  Each of us is an essential part of the whole.  So, it is with the environment.  There is a big picture, and there is the individual small piece of that picture which only each of us can contribute. So, when you are tempted to throw out some food, or wastewater, or use more plastic than necessary, think of how that might affect the big mosaic. Without you, the mosaic will not be what it should be. To help you develop an increasingly sustainable lifestyle, watch this space for a new initiative in the parish.
