Parish News
What a great day out at Glenorchy! Students from Our Lady Help of Christians Primary School in Murtoa learned all about sustainable gardening, especially the construction and use of Wicking beds.
John, our generous host, shared with us his journey of gardening in sometimes harsh conditions and the positive environmental benefits of using wicking beds. We look forward to putting our learning into action.
Our excursion ties in with our commitment to sustainability. The late Pope Francis, in his encyclical Laudato Si (On the Care for our Common Home) encouraged Catholics to turn their attention to the environment, and to consider how we can impact the world God asked us to steward.
Thank you, John, for letting us visit and for giving us an opportunity to put our faith into action.
