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.

Knock Shrine has received an Eco Congregation Ireland Gold Award.



Eco-Congregation Ireland (ECI) encourages faith communities of all Christian denominations to take an eco-approach to worship, lifestyle, property and finance management, community outreach and contact with the developing world.

ECI is a project initiated by the Church in Society Forum – a standing committee of the Irish Inter-Church Meeting. The Roman Catholic, Church of Ireland, Presbyterian and Methodist churches are involved as well as the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers).

Knock Shrine is honoured to be awarded the Eco-Congregation Ireland (ECI) Gold Award for 2026. This award is a high-level environmental recognition given to churches and faith communities that have already earned an initial Eco-Congregation Ireland award.

The ECI Gold Award recognises continuous environmental work across the four core areas of the initial award: Spiritual (linking faith with creation care), Practical (eco-friendly actions on church grounds), Community (engaging locals on environmental issues), and Global (supporting international development or climate justice projects).

The award will be presented at 12pm Mass on Saturday, 31 October 2026.
All are welcome.
