Diocese of Kerry hosts Season of Creation event

The Millstreet church community hosted a Season of Creation event for the Diocese of Kerry. The event featured 12 stops designed to showcase biodiversity work led by the parish biodiversity working group, the Parish Pastoral Council, and local volunteers.

Participants visited various sites including a wildflower area, a sacred space, a swift project, and a cemetery. The program included music, a vegetable garden from Cloghoula School, and the planting of a crab apple tree. Barry Fraser, a potter, created the stations for the event.

Bishop Ray attended the gathering, which also included Rachel Budd from the diocesan Justice, Peace and Care of Creation Committee and representatives from the St Johns Tralee and Spa parishes. Attendees received plants such as strawberry plants, onions, and carrots to use in their own parish gardens.
