Laudato Si’ Week 19th May - 26th May
Laudato Si’ Week is a celebration held annually in May to mark the anniversary of Pope Francis’ landmark encyclical on caring for creation. Sponsored by the Vatican’s Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development, this global celebration unites Catholics to listen and respond together to the cry of creation, rejoice in the progress we have made in bringing Laudato Si’ to life, and intensify our efforts through the Laudato Si’ Action Platform as well as other opportunities for education and action.
In Laudato Si’ Week 2024, let us gather in community to contemplate the wonder of creation and nurture seeds of hope for our “suffering planet” (LD 2). Laudate Deum is a reminder about the urgency of the Laudato Si’ message and the need for both personal and cultural transformation amidst our ecological and climate crises.
This year’s Laudato Si’ Week theme is inspired by the symbol for Season of Creation 2024, “firstfruits.”
Let us be seeds of hope in our lives and our world, rooted in faith and love.
On Monday each class in our school spoke about what they can do helpcare for our environment and how it is our responsibility to take care of God’s creation. Our students have created a tree of all their ideas as a way to remind them they are the “Seed of Hope” for our future
