During the Season of Creation, 1 September — 4 October the feast of St Francis of Assisi, we published daily email messages to those who registered for them.

Our Season of Creation campaign was first initiated in response to Pope Francis's encyclical to the world, Laudato Si' (2015). Those who registered this year received a brief email daily containing a quote relevant to the Season, taken from the treasury of back copies of Tui Motu magazine, a short prayer and some funnies. In 2023, 239 subscribers received the daily emails. The open rate each day was between 70-80 per cent. 

We received appreciative feedback and many messages saying that subscribers had passed the emails on to their friends. 

The following is a sample of the feedback received:
