Laudato Si' Award July 2024

Back in May schools were asked by the Laudato Si' Centre in Salford to nominate any children who have shown great passion and commitment to the Laudato Si' mission. The awards present a wonderful opportunity to shine the spotlight on students who have demonstrated exceptional care for our common home.

As such, the Centre was looking for schools within our diocese to nominate individual or group of students who have gone above and beyond for the Laudato Si’ message and exemplified how to care for our common home and look after the environment.

“This award is an expression of our commitment as a centre, to encourage and support our communities in their efforts towards caring for the environment and I believe it is an exciting opportunity for our schools to showcase the extraordinary contribution of their students” says Emily Cahill, Laudato Si’ Centre Environment and Learning Officer.

Emily explained that winners will receive a certificate of recognition from Bishop John and then have a chance to explore our Laudato Si’ Centre, based in the grounds of Wardley Hall, in recognition of all that they have done.

We are pleased to announce that Eleanor won First Place and in July went along to Wardley Hall to meet Bishop John and collect her award.
