Today concludes the Season of Creation (1 September - 4 October). Since 2 September we have seen daily glimpses of creation on our website homepage, facebook page and twitter account from a number of the countries in which Sisters of Mercy minister and live: USA, Aotearoa New Zealand, Timor Leste, Papua New Guinea, Newfoundland, South Sudan, Australia, Ireland, Peru.
A slideshow of the images that have appeared throughout this Season are shown here. Enjoy these glimpses of aspects of the beauty of creation as seen through the lenses of our Mercy network photographers.
