Eco Connections series completed August 2011

At the Josephite Retreat Centre recently a two year series of gatherings and seminar days on ecology and spirituality were completed.

The Eco Connections project was prepared by the Eco Education Ministry of the Sisters of Saint Joseph of the Sacred Heart (Queensland Province).
The four modules which make up each volume rest on a foundation of sound theology and science, scripture and Catholic Social Teaching.  The titles of these modules are Our Connecting Story, Our Dwelling Place, Our Universe Story and Our Place in the Story.

At the conclusion of the series, the Team presenting the modules were presented with a young native rata tree for planting in the grounds.
