From 1 September to 4 October, Christians around the world celebrate the Season of Creation — a time to come together in prayer, reflection and action for our common home.

As part of our parish’s Season of Creation celebration, join us for a screening of Ocean with David Attenborough, exploring the wonders, threats and hope of our vast, interconnected ocean and its importance for life on Earth.
The screening will begin with an introduction by Fr Colin Tan, SJ, followed by a post-screening dialogue and reflection.
