LAUDATO SI\u2019 WEEK<\/span>\u00a0 As we approach Laudato Si\u2019 Week Sat May 24th\u2014Sat May 31st, I write to you with a heart full of hope and a deep sense of urgency. This special week, inspired by the late Pope Francis\u2019 encyclical Laudato<\/i> Si\u2019: On care of Our Common Home. <\/i>Invites us to reflect on the beauty of God\u2019s creation and our sacred responsibility to protect it and protect the poorest whose livelihoods depend on the fruit of their labours.. Small acts, done with great love, can transform hearts and landscapes alike. I will be planting a tree in the beautiful grounds of the immaculate Heart of Mary Church on Tuesday 27th May, which is a small symbolic act of commitment to the principles of Laudato Si.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Let us walk gently on the Earth, with gratitude in our hearts and courage in our steps.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Bishop Alan Mc Guckian.<\/i><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
