Laudato Si' On Care For Our Common Home.
It has been five years since Pope Francis released his ground-breaking environmental encyclical, Laudato Si' On Care For Our Common Home. To mark this milestone, Catholics world-wide are engaging in ecological celebrations and sustainability actions that demonstrate a commitment to making our world a better place.

In this ground-breaking encyclical letter (written in 2015) Pope Francis addressed "every person living on this planet" challenging us to enter into an inclusive dialogue about how we are shaping the future of our world. Pope Francis called the Church and the world to acknowledge the urgency of our environmental challenges and to join him in embarking on a new path. This encyclical was written with both hope and resolve, looking to our common future with candour and humility. 

Laudato Si' Week is officially from 16th - 24th May.  To commemorate the fifth anniversary of the encyclical Laudato Si', Pope Francis has invited Catholics to participate in Laudato Si' Week, a nine-day global campaign to support and care creation as God intended us to do.

Even though we are currently restricted on places we can go, we can still find ways to celebrate. Attached is a fantastic list of resources for nature play that anyone could do at home.

Mass Times
Due to COVID – 19 Mass and liturgy services will be posted online through the Parish YouTube channel. I encourage you to still participate in Mass by viewing them online.

This online Sunday Mass with Father Sean celebrates the feast of The Ascension of the Lord. Class teachers have also been sharing information clips on this feast via Seesaw.
