Celebrating 800 years of St Francis’ Canticle of the Creatures
In 1255, St Francis of Assisi composed his “Canticle of the Creatures”, one of the great hymns to come down to us from medieval times.
This reflection day celebrates the Canticles remarkable mystical insights concerning God’s creation, and its ecological sensibilities so relevant to today.
We believe in the divine gift of love but the challenge is to incarnate this love. Drawing on both the last encyclical from Pope Francis ‘Delixit nos’ – ‘He Loved Us First’ and the practical advice of Dr Gary Chapman in his series ‘Languages of Love’, Fr Iain Radvan SJ will facilitate prayer, reflection and discussion on how we can live the love that originates from the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
The world is in crisis, many of the causes of which are fundamentally spiritual.
What we see and hear does not provide a coherent inspiring life-giving story inviting us into deeper relationships with God, others and the natural world.
Drawing on the wisdom of our Christian tradition expressed in the work of Teilhard de Chardin, Hildegard of Bingen, Beatrice Bruteau, Elizabeth Johnson and others, John Auer will explore an exciting and inspiring new story – a story expressive of God’s presence in the universe as the creative, transformative, empowering energy of Love.
A morning of reflection, deep listening and sharing our experience of and desires for church.

Led by members of Ignatian Spirituality WA and the Christian Life Community, the morning will involve deep listening practices and shared conversations in the Spirit around our experience of church and our longings for it.
Join the Eco-spirituality group and Ignatian Spirituality WA for a gentle contemplative walk in Bold Park. From 8:45 for 9am start till 11:30am. Starting at the Camel Lake Carpark, two walks will be offered - a 2km loop walk and a 3.5km walk. The 2km walk has a gentle slope for about 300m but otherwise is fairly flat.

How could silence possibly create community? What do we mean by Community?
We’ll explore these questions especially this seemingly paradoxical claim by John Main OSB to see why this connection between silence and community is so important to us as humans as well as for the future of our home - Planet Earth.

“That people may learn to respect Creation and care for it as a gift from God” Pope Francis
A gentle, contemplative weekend of silent walking, reflection and sharing. The walk will be in the hills around Mundaring but it is not a walk for fitness, rather a walk to slow down and allow oneself to be immersed in and present to Nature around you and to your own sense of the sacred. It is an opportunity to slow down and deepen your relationship with yourself and the Divine.
