Friends of Hednesford Park

We were blessed with St Joseph's Catholic Primary School and Nursery, Hednesford today to take part in our 'Insect Week' workshops. Thank you to everyone who took part and made insects for the exhibition pieces for our displays and RicNic. #InsectWeek is organised by The Royal Entomological Society to inspire interest and learning about insects in all ages.

Year 5 have taken part in a community initiative as part of their work on Catholic Social teaching focussing on being stewards of creation. 

"In the first pages of the Bible we read how God created the sun and the stars, the water and earth, and every creature. We believe Christ is the redeemer of all creation."

In 2015, Pope Francis brought together decades of Church teaching in the encyclical, Laudato Si’. In this deeply influential letter, Pope Francis invites everyone on the planet to consider how our actions are affecting the earth and the poorest people. Everything is interconnected, and all of creation praises God. It is our Christian vocation to care for creation.
