The beautiful Pax Christi ICON of Peace and Reconciliation will be a focal point for prayer and meditation at the start and end of the day. Jenny Sinclair, Director of Together for the Common Good will be in conversation on the theme 'Talking about Reconciliation for the Common Good'.

Pax Christi will facilitate a conversation with women peacemakers, Emma Atherton, Ella Holliday and Carol Burns to explore motivations and approaches to peacemaking in different contexts and what we can learn from them.

Fr Eamonn Mulcahy CSSP will offer insights into how Teilhard de Chardin and Pope Francis' Laudato Si have re-energised work for eco-justice and care of creation.

The CAFOD team will speak about Creation time and the Livesimply award and the Northern Dioceses Environmental Group will offer family based activities during the day, including building Bat or Bird Boxes and making eco-bricks. There will be art and peace-symbol making activities offered by Pax Christi.
