The theme for Catholic Schools Week this year is Catholic Schools: Learning with Pope Francis to Care for Our Common Home.
This is Pope Francis’ second encyclical. Its title means ‘Praise be to you’ and it has the subtitle On Care for Our Common Home. The encyclical letter, published on 24 May 2015, discusses the harm humankind has caused on earth and calls on ‘every person living on this planet’ to make necessary changes in our lives to protect our planet.
Laudato Si’ deals with many environmental issues including pollution, climate change, drought, loss of biodiversity and the decline in the quality of human life. Pope Francis is asking us to work together to create a better world for future generations and to take care of, respect and value our common home.
