A time to pray together for wisdom for ourselves and all leaders as we commit to action in light of the critical challenge of climate justice. September 23 is Yom Kippur for our Jewish brothers and sisters and Eid al-Adha (end of Hajj) with the Islamic community. We respect that they will be praying within their own traditions. As we pray for conversion and hope, we will be mindful of all of our interfaith brothers and sisters around the world affected by climate change, economic injustice and environmental degradation.   Each site will have a call for actions as well. 

Co-sponsored by New Mexico Interfaith Power and Light, New Mexico Conference of Churches, Catholic Charities, New Mexico Conference of Catholic Bishops, Interfaith Worker Justice of New Mexico, New Mexico Interfaith Dialogue and the Catholic Archdiocese of Santa Fe.

National coordination by Interfaith Power and Light, Franciscan Action Network and Global Catholic Climate Movement.

If you have not organized a vigil with accompanying call to action around the Popes visit and would like information, contact joan@nm-ipl.org.  It is not too late to have a small gathering in your  home or faith community.
