Welcome

Common Home Action Team- C.H.A.T

Our sustainability action team is named after Pope Francis' second encyclical where the focus is caring for our common home- Earth and our community.

This team will be involved in sustainability audits, collecting data at school, implementing sustainability practices and promoting sustainability actions.

We will work with Resource Smart Schools and Caritas Catholic EarthCare to be the sustainable voice of our school.

Everyone in our school community is involved and we are all called to do our part in caring for our common home.

A Prayer for our Earth

All powerful God,

you are present in the universe

and in the smallest of your creatures.

You embrace with your tenderness all that exists.

Pour out upon us the power of your love,

that we may protect life and beauty.

Fill us with your peace, that we may live

as brothers and sisters, harming no one.

O God of the poor,

help us to rescue the abandoned

and forgotten of this earth,

so precious in your eyes.

Bring healing to our lives,

that we may protect the world and not prey on it,

that we may sow beauty,

not pollution and destruction.

Touch the hearts

of those who look only for gain

at the expense of the poor and the earth.

Teach us to discover the worth of each thing,

to be filled with awe and contemplation,

to recognize that we are profoundly united

with every creature as we journey towards your infinite light.

We thank you for being with us each day.

Encourage us, we pray, in our struggle,

for justice, love and peace.

Amen.
