Westport Eco-Congregation

Westport Eco-Congregation Local environmental group In the Westport area our response to 'Care of Creation' is to gather to respond.

The Westport Congregation has united since the publication of ‘Laudato si' (Italian for ‘Praise Be to You’) encyclical of Pope Francis, subtitled ‘On Care For Our Common Home’ in it, the Pope critiques consumerism and irresponsible development, laments environmental and global warming and calls all people of the world to take "swift and unified global action”. Our vision is to see local community

churches adopt an eco-approach to worship, lifestyle, property, finance management, community outreach and contact with the developing world. We aim to achieve the national Eco-Congregation Award in 2017. This will be the project lead while collaborating with other local groups in the area. We met once a month in Carrowbeg House, The Mall, Westport, County Mayo. Our areas of interest are: Worship and Teaching, Children’s and Youth Work, Property and Grounds Management, Finance and Waste, Personal Lifestyles, Working with the Local Community and Thinking Globally.

The Season of Creation 2026 invites us to do something essential: to pause, reflect, and
understand 🌍

We have prepared a document that explores the meaning of this year’s theme, Living Water—a guide
to connecting faith with action and responding to the call of our Common Home.

📖 Read it, let it challenge you, and discover how to be part of the change.

Because all transformation begins when we understand and decide to act. 💚

Separating food waste is an easy way we reduce CO2! Food waste can produce methane if it goes into the black bin and contaminate materials in the recycling bin. But when we compost, it's transformed into energy and fertilisers! ♻️
Make sure you have your kitchen caddy with compostable liners at the ready to separate those eggshells, tea bags, leftovers and other organic things - it all counts!
