Mercy Day
22-23 April this year is Mercy2Earth weekend. That name, an initiative of the Global Catholic Climate Movement (GCCM), comes from Saturday being known since 1970 as Earth Day and Sunday this year being Divine Mercy Sunday, a feast celebrated always on the Sunday after Easter.
As part of our Mercy global response to the 'cry of the Earth and the cry of the Poor', we have created resources for use on this weekend and beyond. In using the term 'Mercy to Earth' and in working with our existing MIA logo, we are highlighting in a particular way our response to the invitation of Pope Francis: 'May the works of mercy also include care for our common home'.
The following resources (digital files) are available for use by members of the Mercy family and our partners-in-Mercy:
