Officium Educationis publishes sixth education letter

The Officium Educationis and the NKSR published a new education letter titled The Catholic school and care for the earth. This sixth letter addresses sustainability, stewardship, social justice, and the interconnectedness of all creatures. The publication coincides with the jubilee year marking 800 years since the death of Saint Francis of Assisi.

The letter draws inspiration from the Zonnelied of Franciscus van Assisi and the encyclical Laudato Si’ by Pope Francis. Alongside the letter, the organizations released a renewed lesson plan for secondary education called Het goede leven delen en beschermen. This guide helps teachers lead discussions with students regarding sustainability, lifestyle, and care for humans and the earth.
