CELEBRATING LAUDATO SI’SUNDAY 2022

Sixth Sunday of Easter

Let the peoples praise you, O God:
Let all the peoples praise you.
May God still give us his blessing
Till the ends of the earth revere him.
The Spirit will come and teach you everything.

BULLETIN NOTICE:

LAUDATO SI’ WEEK 16th – 24th May is a global celebration
where we remember Pope Francis urging us in his encyclical
Laudato Si’ to hear the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor
and to humbly place ourselves in communion with our
common home.  Today, as a Catholic Earthcare Parish we
celebrate our part in the great progress the whole Church is
making on its journey towards the seven Laudato Si’ Goals set
before us by Pope Francis to achieve ecological conversion.
