St Joseph's CatholicStewardship
We believe in caring for God's gifts
‘The Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work on it and take care of it.’ Genesis 2:15
Stewardship is all about caring for the many gifts that God has given to us. These include our environment, our own talents and other resources. All living things are connected so we must use God’s gifts responsibly to meet the needs of everyone, now and in the future.

CAFOD National Assembly: Eyes of the World
The school watched a special Cafod assembly on the climate crisis.
The climate is in crisis and it affects us all. But it is the poorest communities who are suffering the most. The eyes of the world are on us this year as Britain hosts world leaders for the United Nations' climate change talks -COP26. The assembly talked about how we can come together to look after and care for the world which is crying out for our help, and tackle the climate crisis.
