Laudato Si Week

Laudato Si' Week, from May 21 to 28, celebrates the 8th anniversary of the publication of Pope Francis’ encyclical letter Laudato Si'.  Students, across year levels, learn about how it contributes to Catholic Tradition and reinforces Catholic Social Teachings on human dignity, stewardship, rights and responsibilities and a preferential option for the poor.  

This year’s thme is "Hope for the Earth. Hope for humanity"

Some ways we’ve celebrated Laudato Si Week at Lumen include

• Daily notices with suggestions about how we can address the Laudato Si Goals at Lumen Christi
• Holding our weekly Lumen Social Justice Advocates meeting in the outdoor classroo
• Viewing excerpts from the film, "The Letter", which was launched for Laudato Si Week and tells the story of four "social poets" affected first-hand by the climate crisis who travel to Rome to meet Pope Francis
• Staff participation in an Integral Ecology Network zoom session with other staff in our Archdiocesan schools

All is not lost. 

Human beings…are capable of rising above themselves, 

choosing again what is good, and making a new start.
