Laudato Si’ Week (17-24 May) marks the 11th anniversary of  Pope Francis’ Encyclical on caring for creation, which he identifies as essential to Christian discipleship. He calls every member of the Church to see the earth as our “sister”, “mother” and “common home”. This year, we are invited to move from hope to action in caring for the environment through small, practical projects, such as putting waste in appropriate bins, recycling, turning off taps, limiting shower time and purchase of water in plastic bottles, providing refundable bottles and cans for Fr Ronny’s appeal and praying for greater ecological consciousness and commitment. The All Saints Laudato Si’ Group meets at 7pm on the 2nd Tuesday of each month in Loreto Place, Room 2. The next meeting is Tuesday, 9 June . All are welcome.

The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity is held between the Solemnities of the Ascension and Pentecost in the southern hemisphere (18-25 January in the northern hemisphere). The 2026 theme is: There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope of your calling” (Eph 4:4). The Church calls us to pray for unity with other Christian Churches and to do whatever we can to promote real unity with them.

This Sunday, the Antioch community farewells Carol Wright after more than twenty years as Parent leader. Carol is an outstanding example of the remarkably committed Parent Leaders who have served young people in our Parish for over 40 years. We thank Carol for her contribution and wish her every blessing into the future.
