Here’s an exciting new initiative from Development and Peace for both Elementary and Secondary schools. Here’s the announcement:

Laudato Si certification is an annual program created by Development and Peace – Caritas Canada (DPCC) to help schools reflect the vision of Pope Francis to Care for our Common Home. This vision is given to us in the teaching of his 2015 encyclical, Laudato Si. Pope Francis says that to care for our common home, we need to nurture three fundamental and interconnected relationships: our relationship to God, to each other, and to the natural world. When we nurture these relationships, we promote an integral ecology that “takes us to the heart of what it is to be human.”
