CATHOLIC EDUCATION WEEK 2021
The theme for this year’s Catholic Education Week is “Nurturing Hope” building on last year’s theme “Igniting Hope”. Let us continue to nurture hope during this challenging year as we turn our hearts to God and find gratitude in our daily lives.
It is not happiness that makes us grateful; it’s gratefulness that makes us happy.

A Prayer in Time of Pandemic
(from the Diocese of London's Outreach Resources for the COVID-19 Pandemic).
Look upon your flock, kind Shepherd.
Though bowed down by our human frailty
in the dark valley of this pandemic,
we fear no evil, for you are with us,
you hear us, and you comfort us.
Grace with the wisdom of your Spirit
political and religious leaders guiding us.
Give consolation to those who are suffering,
and to families and friends
accompanying them.
Guide with strength health care workers
aiding the sick and dying.
Grant courage to all – from first responders
to those who put food on our tables –
providing essential services and the necessities of life.
In this time of darkness and uncertainty, O God,
may we be beacons of your goodness and mercy
to all in need.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Laudato Si
Pope Francis has written a letter addressed to everyone on this planet asking us all to protect the Earth- our common home.
In the letter he says "the Earth is God's gift to us- it is full of beauty and wonder and it belongs to everyone."
Saint Francis of Assisi reminds us that our common home is like a sister with whom we share our life and a beautiful mother who opens her arms to embrace us. (LS-1) The urgent challenge to protect our common home includes a concern to bring the whole human family together to seek a sustainable and integral development. (LS-13)
