Upcoming JPIC Conferences – 2025 & 2026

JPIC (Justice, Peace and Integrity of Creation) has announced two conferences taking place in 2025 and 2026. The first, JPIC Linking Day: “Changing Futures – Transforming Global Finance for Development”, will take place on Saturday 11th October 2025 at the FCJ Spirituality Centre, London (with the option to join online). Speakers from CAFOD and Results UK will address the urgent need for economic transformation in pursuit of global justice.

Looking further ahead, the JPIC-Links Annual Conference is scheduled for 8th–10th May 2026 at Wistaston Hall Retreat Centre in Crewe, led by environmentalist and author Mary Colwell. This gathering, also available both in person and on Zoom, will focus on an environmental theme.

Climate, Covid and Conflict: Can Catholic Social Teaching show the way through the storm?

CAFOD afternoon of reflection for Religious, September 22nd:

Reagan's story:

Reagan (pictured above) is a beekeeper in his home county of Isiolo, Kenya. His work and livelihood are threatened by multiple climate-induced shocks such as drought, flood, and locusts. Paired with the setbacks of Covid and the war in Ukraine disrupting global food markets, it is becoming increasingly difficult for communities like his to meet their minimum food needs, causing community rifts and conflict.

Our sisters and brothers overseas are facing the perfect storm - the effects of climate change, Covid and conflict. These shocks reveal the underlying injustices in our food system and global economy. How are we called to respond?

We warmly invite members of religious orders to come together to reflect on this question. We will be joined by Gareth Rowe, research fellow with CAFOD and Durham University, who will share his reflections and lead the discussion.
