The Season of Creation at St George’s
This year is the 10th anniversary of the encyclical Laudato Si by Pope Francis and the 800th anniversary of the composition of the Canticle of the Creatures (Laudato Si, O mi Signore) by St Francis of Assisi.
The Norwich Secular Franciscans invite you to join our Day of Recollection on Saturday, September 20th from 11.00am – 4.00pm at St George’s. Please bring food for a shared lunch.
The Season of Creation, which runs from September 1 to October 4, is an annual celebration uniting Christians in prayer and action for the protection of our common home.
The Prayer for Creation
Father, Lord of all creation,
we praise you with all your creatures
and the whole universe that comes forth from the work of Your hands.
We acknowledge the privilege and responsibility
that You give us as stewards of Your creation.
In our ignorance we have done damage to our common home
and our brothers and sisters are suffering.
Through faithfully following your Son
guide and direct us to prepare for a better future.
Teach us to contemplate You in the beauty of the universe,
for all things speak of You.
Give us the grace to recognise, respect and protect all You have created,
using wisely all that you have entrusted to us.
Holy Spirit,
who first hovered over the dawn of creation and drew order out of the chaos
help us to build your kingdom of justice, love, peace and beauty where the poor of the earth are crying out.
You, who live and reign, world without end, Amen.
St George’s Confirmation Mass 2025
Our Confirmation programme for 2024-25 concluded on Thursday, 17 July 2025 with a special Confirmation Mass at St George’s that saw 11 young people receive the Sacrament of Confirmation.
Bishop Peter was present to confer this important Sacrament on Anastacia, Benjamin (X2), Catherine, John, Joshua, Naomi, Kinawa, Otis, Tiago and Rayan. Please continue to keep them in your prayers that they may be receptive to the prompting of the Holy Spirit and discern God’s will for their lives.
A special thanks goes to Michela and David for their dedication and time in preparing this group in learning more about the Church and about our Lord Jesus Christ.

Prayer to the Holy Spirit
Come Holy Spirit,
Replace the tension within us with a holy relaxation.
Replace the turbulence within us with a quiet confidence.
Replace the fear within us with a strong faith.
Replace the bitterness within us
with the sweetness of grace.
Replace the darkness within us with a gentle light.
Replace the coldness within us with a living warmth.
Replace the night within us with Your light
Replace the winter within us with Your spring.
Straighten our crookedness, fill our emptiness.
Blunt the edge of our pride,
sharpen the edge of our humility.
Light the fires of our love,
quench the flames of our lust.
Let us see ourselves as You see us,
that we may see You as You have promised
and be fortunate according to Your word:
“Blessed are the pure of heart, for they shall see God.”
