The Live Simply Award is an opportunity for Catholic communities - parishes, schools, religious orders and chaplaincies - to respond to Pope Francis’ invitation in Laudato Si' to “work with generosity and tenderness in protecting this world which God has entrusted to us”.
As a school community we are on a journey with Christ towards the Live Simply Award.
Our 3 aims are to :
Live simply,
Live in solidarity with people in poverty,
Live sustainably with creation.
Loving God, you made this beautiful world that we all share.
Help us to live simply,
and be thankful for all that you have given us
Help us to look after our earth,
So that everyone may enjoy it.
Help us to share with others,
so that everyone has what they need.
Amen.
