Our parish has celebrated the Season of Creation during the month of September for several years as part of our action plan to become a LiveSimply parish. This year marks our achievement of this award, with CAFOD’s commemorative plaques being awarded to both of our parish churches this month.
Our LiveSimply Prayer:
Heavenly Father, we praise and thank you for the world You created for us to share. We ask you to give us the grace to work together, to live more simply, more sustainably, and in solidarity with the poor. Through Christ our Lord.
Season of Creation 2025
Reflection:
Ezekiel's vision of 'Living Water' where “every living creature that swarms will live” (Ezekiel 47:9) invites us to see God's life-giving grace and sacramental presence flowing into places of desolation, renewing both creation and human community.
In a world facing a severe ecological crisis, this river becomes a call to repent from systems that exploit land, water, and vulnerable people. Creation is not a commodity, but a communion of interdependent life entrusted to our care. (From the Living Water Celebration Guide, available at https://seasonofcreation.org/resources/).
This month we join the world’s ecumenical community to celebrate creation through our weekly liturgy.
Season of Creation Events in the Parish
Sunday 6th September - BLESSING OF OUR GARDENS
Our fruit trees and parish gardens will be blessed after the 9.30 Mass at Immaculate Heart Of Mary to mark our thankfulness for our church environment. All parishioners are invited to attend the blessing and come into the hall for tea/coffee afterwards.
Wednesday 16th September - OUTDOOR 12.00 MASS
The parish Mass will be held outdoors in front of the “Calvary” at Immaculate Heart church at 12.00 noon. This gives us an opportunity to pray and renew our commitment to care for the environment in which we live. (Pray for good weather!)
Weekend 19th - 20th September - GIFTS OF CREATION AT ALL MASSES
Please bring a ‘Gift of Creation’ to mass, e.g. flowers or cuttings, plants, packets of seeds, pictures or photographs etc which demonstrate the wonder of God’s Creation, and drawings, especially children’s, will be most welcome. Please place these gifts in the boxes at the entrance to either church before each Mass. They will be taken to the altar with the Offertory procession.
Thursday 25th September - CELEBRATING LATER LIFE (CLL)
The donated Gifts of Creation will be distributed at September’s CLL Mass and lunch. What a wonderful way to celebrate God’s Creation!
Sunday 11th October - CELEBRATION OF HOSPITALITY AND BELONGING

The Israeli army (IDF) has declared the Christian town of Taybeh - the last entirely Christian community in the occupied West Bank - a 'closed military zone' - prohibiting Israelis, foreign nationals, and journalists from entering. The army says this is to protect Taybeh from the illegal settlers that have been attacking the town for months.
Taybeh Mayor Suleiman Khoury said that restricting foreign visitors will have a serious economic impact because Taybeh is a popular religious and tourist destination with hotels, restaurants and other businesses relying heavily on visitors.
But the ban also means international activists, human rights observers, and journalists will no longer be able to enter the village to document or respond to the daily attacks by Israeli settlers. Many observers have noted that the IDF has tended to stand by and watch while 'settlers' have rampaged through Christian land and homes in Taybeh.
Ihab Hassan, a Palestinian Christian human rights advocate wrote: "This is a deeply alarming new measure and another step by the Israeli government and army toward the ethnic cleansing of the last entirely Christian village in the West Bank. They want to do it in silence - without witnesses, without journalists, and without the world noticing.
"Instead of arresting the settler terrorists responsible for these attacks, the authorities are banning the journalists and activists who document them from entering the village.
"If this continues, the survival of the last entirely Christian Palestinian village in the West Bank is at serious risk."
Father Bashar Fawadleh, parish priest of Christ the Redeemer Church in Taybeh, said in a statement: "From the perspective of the church, we welcome any serious measure whose real purpose is to protect our people, their homes, their lands and their freedom to live in security and dignity.
"The declaration of Taybeh as a closed military zone for non-resident Israelis may be a positive step if it is genuinely and consistently enforced to prevent settlers from entering our lands and carrying out further attacks. What matters to us, however, is not the announcement itself, but what happens on the ground in the coming days and weeks.
"For months, our community has experienced repeated incursions into private and agricultural lands, intimidation of families and workers, fires, armed presence, the entry of settlers and their livestock onto private property and attempts to establish a permanent presence around the village. These incidents have created fear and are threatening the normal life and future of our Christian community.
"As a Church, we therefore say clearly: protection must mean protection. The responsibility cannot be placed on the victims by restricting their lives, access to their lands or freedom of movement. The restrictions must be directed against those who enter illegally, threaten residents, damage property or attempt to take control of land.
"We will judge this decision by its results: Are the attacks stopped? Can our farmers safely reach their land? Can families live in their homes without fear? Are attempts to establish new settler outposts around Taybeh prevented?
"Taybeh does not ask for privileges. We ask for the basic right to remain peacefully on our land and to preserve a Christian presence that has existed here for centuries.
"If this decision provides real and lasting protection, we will welcome it. But it must be implemented seriously and accompanied by accountability for those responsible for the attacks. Temporary measures are not enough. What Taybeh needs is lasting security, justice and the protection of its people and land.
"At this stage, we still do not have clear information about the details of how this decision will be implemented, how it will translate into practice on the ground, which areas will actually be covered by the measures, or how they will be enforced and monitored.
"For this reason, we cannot judge the decision solely by its announcement. We will assess it by the way it is implemented and by its actual impact on the lives, security, and freedom of movement of the people."
In an interview with Vatican News, Fr Fawadleh appealed for prayers from the global church.
He said: "Do not forget Taybeh. I invite every Catholic diocese worldwide to speak out about the situation here, to talk about these Christian brothers and sisters who are living in terror. The birthplace of the Christian community must not vanish into silence. Together, we can preserve this living testament of faith."
"Through your platform, I would like to appeal directly to Pope Leo XIV to intervene for this last Christian village in the West Bank, so that these settler attacks cease and the occupation of our land stops. We simply want to live in peace, with justice and dignity.
"It is a vital, foundational symbol for everyone, especially as we prepare for the 2033 Jubilee, marking two millennia since Jesus Christ walked this earth. Taybeh stands on the front lines of preserving Christianity here in the Holy Land. Jesus chose to seek refuge in Taybeh before his passion, death, and resurrection. We must remain a living testament to Christianity and its enduring presence in the Holy Land. The world must stand with Taybeh."
LINKS
Two charities supporting the Christian community in Taybeh are:
It was supposed to be an ordinary journey: leaving Ramallah in the morning, crossing the bridge into Jordan, attend the ceremony of religious vows for three dear sisters, and later returning with my mother. Geographically, it is not a long distance, and under normal circumstances, such a journey should not require so much planning, time, money, and stress. But in Palestine, distances are not measured in kilometres alone.
The complications began even before reaching the bridge. Leaving the Ramallah area took longer because one of the checkpoints along the way was closed. This is nothing exceptional in our daily lives. You may leave home knowing where you are going, but you do not know which road will still be open when you reach it, or how long it will actually take you to get there.
The situation becomes even more complicated when other roads are closed, as is happening in the Taybeh area. The closure of a single road does not affect only the residents of one village. It alters traffic throughout an entire area, increases pressure on alternative routes, and turns short distances into longer and more exhausting journeys. And so, before the actual journey has even begun, you have already gone through another journey simply to reach the crossing point.
When I finally reached the bridge, the number of travellers was overwhelming. I found myself with two choices: wait amid the crowds, with all the exhaustion and uncertainty that this entails, or use the VIP service to make the crossing easier. I chose the second option, not because I was looking for luxury, but because the crowds were more than I could manage and because I needed to travel and return with my mother.
At first, I thought the service would cost around $100. Then I discovered that I was mistaken: the actual cost was closer to $130. On top of that, there are approximately $70 in fees paid to the Israeli side upon departure. We are therefore already at around $200, and that is before even reaching Jordan, where additional fees still have to be paid.
And the expenses do not end with official fees. There are taxis, high transportation costs, and what travellers sometimes experience as exploitation by certain drivers who take advantage of their need and the lack of alternatives. When you urgently need to reach the bridge, leave it, or move from one point to another, you are not always in a position to compare prices or calmly search for a better option. You simply need to continue your journey, and that necessity itself can become an opportunity for prices to be inflated.
In the end, I found myself paying around 560 shekels instead of the roughly 250 shekels I had expected for part of this journey. The irony is that the total amount one can end up paying simply to travel from Palestine to Jordan can sometimes equal the price of a plane ticket to certain European destinations. We are talking about crossing a few dozen kilometres, not travelling between countries and continents.
Of course, I could have chosen not to use the VIP service. But that is precisely the point: sometimes all the options available to you are bad ones. Either you pay an excessive amount, or you face hours of crowds, waiting, and exhaustion, without knowing exactly when your journey will end.
The problem is not one incident, one checkpoint, or even one side. It is the daily accumulation of obstacles. An Israeli checkpoint may be closed, a road may be blocked, the bridge may be overcrowded, procedures and fees await you on both sides of the border, transportation costs are high, and some taxi drivers take advantage of the situation. At every stage, another obstacle appears, Israeli or Arab, official or unofficial.
This is sometimes difficult to explain to someone who lives in a place where they can simply get into their car and drive one or two hundred kilometres without having to think about anything beyond ordinary traffic. Here, even visiting a neighbouring country, or simply going to bring your mother home, can become an entire operation requiring calculations of time, money, checkpoints, crowds, open and closed roads, fees, and taxi fares.
And in moments of anger, you feel that everything has become difficult: because of Israelis and because of Arabs, because of occupation and because of disorder, because of checkpoints and because of the bridge, because of fees and because of exploitation. Everyone adds something to the burden, and in the end there is one ordinary human being who pays the price, financially and psychologically.
We are not asking for a privilege. We simply want something that seems perfectly ordinary in most parts of the world: to be able to go to work, visit our families, travel to a neighbouring country, and return home without every journey becoming yet another test of patience and endurance.
Today, I paid more than I wanted to pay, waited longer than I expected, and travelled a route far more complicated than it should have been. There is nothing I can change about that now. I will continue my journey, bring my mother home, and try to rest.
But the painful paradox remains: in this very small part of the world, a distance may be very short on a map, yet become extraordinarily long, complicated, and expensive in a person’s life.

There are many groups all over Leeds doing amazing things - connect with them and get involved with their work!
At the weekend I went to at event led by Plastic Free NW Leeds. Their campaigns include working to eliminate single-use plastics and also for cleaner, plastic free waterways in the UK. An eight-year-old girl tragically died in August 1999 after contracting an infection linked to sewage on a beach; there were countless examples from people of all ages with severe life changing illnesses. These stories returned to national prominence following the release of the Channel 4 factual drama, Dirty Business. The evidence produced at the time by Rob Forrester and Mark Barrow brought appalling failings to public attention.
The function of water companies is to protect public health and the environment. Sewage discharge should only happen in an emergency, but has become standard and accepted practice. Water companies are now self reporting and the findings show that major incidents were deliberately downgraded so no response was necessary. Experts say the water sector has been poorly regulated for decades and allowed water companies to under invest in critical infrastructure while paying out huge dividends to shareholders.
Total Spills in 2025: Untreated raw sewage was discharged into England's rivers and seas 291,492 times. These spills lasted a combined total of roughly 1.9 million hours.
The Environmental Agency is an independent Government regulator; their function includes protecting and improving the environment. Pollution data reveal that approximately 96% of the most serious (Category 1 and 2) pollution incidents reported to authorities was downgraded in 2025. Over the last decade, nearly 6,000 potentially major or significant sewage incidents were downgraded by the Environment Agency (EA) without a direct site inspection.
In response to exposés such as the Channel 4 documentary Dirty Business and revelations of downgraded pollution incidents, the Environmental Agency asserts that operations have improved under new leadership and new regulatory enforcements. The campaigners still maintain that rather than being independent, the EA are well on the way to being a client funded regulator.
Yorkshire Water is facing a major Environmental Performance Assessment downgrade to a rare "one-star" rating, due to rising pollution incidents and infrastructure failures. This places it among the lowest-rated water companies in the UK, driven by a 72% surge in pollution incidents and challenges with sewage overflows.
Kelda Holdings, a consortium of investment funds based in Sweden, Singapore and Australia, is the parent company of Yorkshire Water. Water companies have awarded over £112 million in bonuses and performance related incentives to senior staff over the last decade, despite being characterised by pollution scandals and underperformance of private companies.
Recent legislation aims to restore public trust and raise standards by introducing a new regulatory framework. The UK water action plan centres on the Water (Special Measures) Act 2025 to tackle pollution and failing companies. Key actions include banning bonuses for polluting water bosses, enforcing independent monitoring of every sewage outlet, and enabling automatic criminal charges against executives who obstruct environmental investigations.
These conversations are all a step in the right direction and SPARK and the Justice and Peace Commission will continue to advocate for climate justice and care for our environment.

From LSI MOVEMENT - resources to prepare parish hearts for the September Season of Creation: Begin with the Heart - then solar panels!
by Christina Leaño, Associate Director, Laudato Si' Movement
The world feels thirsty.
We see it in communities facing heat waves, floods, and conflict. But perhaps we feel it within ourselves too—a longing to slow down, to listen, and to rediscover God's presence.
Before we prepare for the Season of Creation, God invites us to prepare something even more important: our hearts.
Begin with the Heart
Our newest Dilexit Nos reflection reminds us that compassion doesn't begin with doing more—it begins by stopping.
In the silence of prayer, Christ renews our hearts so we can respond to the suffering of creation with hope instead of exhaustion. Explore the new reflection and Parish Guide to help your community grow together this summer.
That is the invitation of the Season of Creation 2026. Living Water begins long before September—not with planning events, but by allowing God's grace to flow through us into our families, parishes, and communities.
Our new reflection and Celebration Guide will help you begin that journey today.
As we continue this journey together, we are grateful for everyone who sustains the mission of Laudato Si' Movement. If you are able to support this work, we invite you to kindly make a gift.
Thank you for walking this journey with us.
May Christ renew your heart, so that together we may become living water for our common home.
Earlier this year, SPARK was fortunate to gain additional funds through the Assumption Legacy Fund, focussed on Catholic Social Teaching. This fits with our current priorities of social justice; climate change, local poverty, refugees and people seeking asylum and the rights of people to live in peace and free from racism.
Our work with young people is centred on enabling their voices to be heard. At SPARK, we want to listen and enable our members to actively participate in their local communities. We raise awareness of the local and national issues that matter to them and offer support in finding local solutions. Our offer focuses on the personal development of each individual and on activities which are devised and directed by the young people. SPARK aims to create events that offer opportunities of enrichment, leadership and personal growth encouraging everyone to learn more about social justice and leading on action for change.
This new fund has allowed us to expand our existing work. Earlier this month we had our first parish session at St. Augustine of Canterbury. This is a lovely, welcoming parish in Harehills, home to a vibrant group of young people, who demonstrate strong leadership and enthusiasm.
In 2025, the parish made a conscious commitment to ensure that the voices of young people are heard as active contributors in their church and to nurture their personal growth.
Thanks to Fr Ghebreyesus and Cassandra James who leads the youth work in the parish, along with the team who helped on the day, we all had a memorable afternoon full of fun and pizza!
More sessions are planned and we are looking forward to working with the parish of St. Augustine.
In November 2023, just over 50 people were arrested for walking slowly over Waterloo Bridge in London as part of a series of protests organised by Just Stop Oil. The aim was to draw attention to the climate crisis, calling on the government not to issue new licences for the exploration of fossil fuels in the North Sea.
Arrested and charged under section 7 of the Public Order act 2023, seven of us were tried at Southwark Crown Court on the 22nd June 2026. The trial lasted until Friday 3rd July when the jury gave a majority verdict of “Not Guilty” to us all.
The prosecution had to prove that we significantly delayed the traffic crossing the bridge. Their evidence consisted of one and a half hours of CCTV footage from 4 cameras sited on or near the bridge. The prosecutor showed this without any commentary or explanation. The footage had no dates or times on.
In my statement following his presentation, I had the opportunity to tell the jury of my motivation for taking nonviolent direct action. I’d been a volunteer with the Catholic Institute of International Relations 1969 to 1971 and seen how reliant people were on the seasons. No rain in the rainy season meant no crops and no food.
Once home in the UK, I actively campaigned with J and P and other organisations to improve conditions for people and the environment in the Global South, writing to MPs, signing petitions, going on rallies and marches in London, Birmingham, Edinburgh and at COPs in Paris and Glasgow. Climate change over the years became climate crisis and climate breakdown but still governments weren’t listening to the science. I was at my wits end knowing how people in the Global South were already suffering the effects. I talked about Laudato Si influencing me and my decision to take non violent direct action with Just Stop Oil on that cold, wet November day.
I also told the jury that I had no intention of significantly delaying the traffic and that our walk over the bridge would have been less than 20 minutes in a London rush hour had the police escorted us rather than walking backwards in front of us and then arresting us all in the middle of the bridge, closing the opposite carriageway with their vans full of more than 50 officers, before loading us up and taking us to various police stations where we spent the night.
The other defendants all told their own varied histories of involvement. We were from different parts of the UK of different ages and beliefs but all committed to the same cause.
In his summing up, the judge no longer talked of climate change but of climate catastrophe. The jury took more than 7 hours to come to a decision. The prosecutor was helpful throughout and said his job was not to win but to make sure justice was done. He will be advising the crown prosecution service to drop the 10 or more similar cases still pending.
The whole experience was scary and wearing and it was the hottest week of the year with 37 degrees in London. I’m relieved to be home and thankful for all the prayers and support I’ve had.
In day 2 of this heat wave, I have been listening to fears that our electricity grid needs investment to help us to cope with the increasing incidence of heat waves in the UK. The extra electricity load for significant numbers air conditioning increases the risk of blackouts ( and electric car charging) as happened in France recently.
The CAFOD / Live Simply group in our parish promoted the new CAFOD petition lobbying the Prime Minister to use our hosting of the G20 next year to cancel some third world debt to enable poor countries to support their populations better and to pass a new UK law supporting Debt Justice.
We are privileged in that we have been a major world economy for hundreds of years and have built up more wealth than many of the nations who are suffering greater environmental changes due to climate change. Yet our Government is borrowing more money to ‘keep us in the manner we expect’. Smaller country economies must raise the capital to help their people from displacement and natural disasters. In addition to the humanitarian aid from organisations such as CAFOD, Medicines Sans Frontiers and DEC, plus many others. But with their credit rating are worse than ours so their costs of debt are higher than ours.
It has recently been reported that a certain President has increased his personal wealth in the last 12 months by $1 Billion. Looking at the alleged multi-million payments made to various politicians do we really believe that they are seeking to do anything other than protect their current source of wealth and wealth?
The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer across the world. It is not right or just.
So, please visit CAFOD, sign the petition and maybe write to your MP to ask for their support in achieving debt justice across the world. And if you can donate to their Venezuela appeal.
Local power for local people – Settle Catholic Church helps found the region’s first Energy Local club.
St Mary & St Michael Settle church in the combined parish of Our Lady and St Boniface has been central to the development of a community club that shares locally generated renewable energy at local prices. SELC, the Settle Energy Local Club, sprang from an 80-member Action on Climate Emergency town group with the aim of keeping power in local hands and challenging the grip of the big energy companies.
Parishioners from the LiveSimply group with Fr Frank Smith, the installers and two other directors of SELC SELC has partnered with the Energy Local community interest company who have pioneered a means for matching electricity generated in the town with use by local households and businesses, rather than being sold off cheaply to the grid and bought back at inflated prices. When the Settle parishioners in their LiveSimply group heard about the plans they quickly set about raising £10,000 to hugely expand the modest number of solar panels already installed on the church hall roof during a major renovation upgrade in 2017. The response was so positive that two years ago the parish covered the roof with extra solar up to almost 16kW of PV panels. The church does not use a lot of that power so it can export significant amounts of green electricity to the benefit of local club members. The price they pay is agreed annually by the Club’s own members, currently about half normal price at just 14p per kWh.
And the church benefits from receiving that exact same amount when its electricity is matched to members’ consumption. This is done every half hour using the smart meter system. For this reason all Club members have to be signed up with the same supplier, 100Green, that are a Which? recommended ‘deep green’ company. The supplier handles all the billing and provides grid electricity to customers when there isn’t enough local generation; it also pays for exported surplus when that’s not being matched to local consumers, although of course at a more typical lower price.
Drone image from BBC Look North SELC is currently small with one other medium sized roof full of PV panels on a family run sofa manufacturer, and solar generation from three domestic roofs. These support 10 consumer members who are typically saving 10 – 15% off their bills overall. The church stands to earn over £1,000 a year from its electricity.
The parish is really proud to be able to so visibly encourage and support the town to a lower carbon future. They achieved the LiveSimply award in 2020. Like the other changes they made towards the award the community energy club is an opportunity to put into practice Catholic teaching about social and environmental justice. Already there are other churches and community buildings lining up to join as generators.
Indeed, Settle is a town with a strong tradition of community action. It has a community-owned library and swimming pool and Age UK is typical of the many volunteer groups with 100 volunteers in a town of 4,500 people. A community hydro power scheme began in 2009 which is now working towards joining the energy club instead of just selling its power to the grid. This will provide generation in winter and overnight when solar isn’t available and immediately mean an extra 30 consumers could join the Club. A challenge for SELC’s five volunteer founder directors, one of whom is a Settle parishioner, is to keep the number of consumer members in balance with the generator members so that the Club functions as intended.
St Mary & St Michael Settle church in the combined parish of Our Lady and St Boniface Their priority is to build on this early experience and expand the number of consumers alongside new solar generators, but they have already started investigating the feasibility of a community wind project which could enable much greater numbers to benefit.
Setting up the Club has required persistence.
“The number of bodies involved in the metering and management of electricity is quite mind boggling,”
said parishioner and Club Secretary Paul Kelly.
“It has taken a lot of commitment from the first members and a lot of tenacity threading our way through the barriers.”
Not least in the case of the church has been the supply agreement for green energy that all parishes are contracted into nationally. SS Mary & Michael was to be the founder generator but electrical regulations greatly delayed getting the church’s smart meter data to 100Green.
But SELC is an example of the capacity of local people to make a difference to their area and contribute to decarbonisation across the UK. It attracted the attention of BBC Look North last autumn. Filmed before the church was able to join the programme item can be viewed here. Paul is also encouraged by the Local Power Plan published by the Government in February.
