In response to Pope Francis’ invitation in Laudato Si’ to “work with generosity and tenderness in protecting this world which God has entrusted to us”. At St Anne’s Catholic Primary School, we are striving to achieve the Live Simply award. We aim to do this by living:
- simply
- in solidarity with people in poverty
- sustainably with creation
What is Laudato Si?
Laudato Si’ is an encyclical (a letter) written by Pope Francis in June 2015 and addressed not only to all Catholics, but to everyone in the world. Laudato Si’ – On the Care of our Common Home, is a real challenge to us all.
Pope Francis teaches us that a right relationship with the Earth and the whole of creation is as much part of the Church’s moral teaching as a right relationship with God and our neighbour.
Laudato Si’ urges us to change our lifestyle, to treat nature with respect, to be deeply aware of the interconnectedness of all God’s creation and to live simply and without wastefulness.
