Pope Francis’ encyclical, Laudato Si’, is a profound invitation to everyone on the planet to care for our common home.
Pope Francis challenges us to consider the kind of world we want to leave to those who come after us.
The encyclical discusses the damage being inflicted on the Earth by humans and calls on ‘every person living on this planet’ to make urgent changes to our lifestyles.
At Larmenier & Sacred Heart the children have the opportunity to actively take part in a diverse range of activities that explore environmental issues, thereby are immersed in the message of Laudato Si’.
