St Macartan’s School, Mornington, is reflecting on Family Week and Laudato Si’ Week, which marks the fifth anniversary of Pope Francis’ encyclical letter On Care for Our Common Home.
Sustainability Leader Cynthia Menon said: ‘This week, students participated in a challenge to share photos of how they are taking action as a family to care for our earth and the poor. Year 6 leaders have written prayers and, on Sunday 24 May, school families are invited to pause at 12 noon and participate in the global moment of prayer on the 5th anniversary of Laudato Si’.’
Families got on board and submitted their response to the challenge with photos. Here are a few of their responses:
Principal Colleen McGreal said: ‘During this challenging time, it is more important than ever to create opportunities where we can connect with each other and our world. Family Week and Laudato Si’ Week combined was the perfect time to emphasise the importance of caring for each other and our planet.’
