Laudato Si’ Week 2026 theme “From Hope to Action” invites us to move beyond awareness into care. 🌏💧

In May, we facilitated a workshop with Academy of Mary Immaculate students focused on deepening our relationship with Earth through water — the lifeblood that connects all creation.

Guided by reflection, story, and Indigenous perspectives, students were invited to see water as a living presence that sustains and unites us all.

It was a meaningful experience that fostered a deeper sense of belonging to the natural world and a shared responsibility to protect and restore the waterways and ecosystems that give life to our communities and our common home.

On Earth Day 2026, we got our hands in the soil—repotting plants and refreshing our vertical garden 🌱

It was a simple, grounding way to pause and reconnect. Caring for these small living things reminded us that looking after the Earth starts with everyday actions🌏💚

Today we gathered to commemorate the founding of the House of Mercy by Catherine McAuley in 1827. We remember the bravery and resilience of Catherine and the Sisters who paved the way, and we thank them for nurturing and empowering women and people across the world. Let us strive for Mercy, Peace, Justice and Reconciliation in our world, spreading love and light. Happy Mercy Day 💗

"We should be shining lamps, giving light to all around us"
