The group began with a prayer rally at 12:30 p.m. along the river’s edge before boarding the Clearwater Sloop for a three-hour sail. During the journey, they learned about water quality, the health of marine life, and engaged in conversation with environmental leaders.
Catholic Sisters from ten congregations took part, including the Sisters of Charity of New York, Dominican Sisters of Hope, Sisters of St. Dominic of Blauvelt, Dominican Sisters of Sparkill, Sisters of Mercy, Sisters of St. Joseph of Peace, Sisters of the Divine Compassion, and the Maryknoll Sisters. They were joined by an Episcopal monk from Holy Cross Monastery, leaders from the Metro New York Catholic Climate Movement and the Laudato Si’ Movement, and environmental groups such as Scenic Hudson, Riverkeeper, and the Center for Earth Ethics at Union Seminary.
On Thursday, Sept. 25, at 2 p.m. ET, a Zoom debrief will be held where participants will share their experiences. All are welcome to join. May their stories inspire each of us to take action in protecting and caring for our common home.
