EREA Climate Crisis ÐÔ°®ÊÓƵatement

The EREA Climate Crisis ÐÔ°®ÊÓƵatement, Ask the Earth and it will teach you, was launched on 19 August 2021. The ÐÔ°®ÊÓƵatement speaks to us with hope and optimism grounded in a call for renewed and reimagined action. It has been developed over 18 months through consultation with over 1600 young people from EREA schools and various other members of our school communities. We are seeking a shift in attitudes and actions, to address the climate crisis and to restore harmony to God’s creation.

ÐÔ°®ÊÓƵ Patrick’s College, ÐÔ°®ÊÓƵrathfield is committed to an authentically sustainable present and future, ensuring we care for ‘our common home’.  We are called by God to protect the earth and inspired by the example of ÐÔ°®ÊÓƵ Francis of Assisi, as we heed the words of Pope Francis in Laudato si’. Our promise to learn from the earth and work with it stands alongside the positional statement from EREA. To view this statement and supporting documentation use this link:
