Caring For God's Creation
Care for God’s creation highlights our relationship with all of creation, and our responsibility to make sure that creation has the opportunities and environment to grow. This is highlighted on Earth Day, but goes beyond just our physical world. As Pope Francis writes in Laudato Si: "A true ecological approach always becomes a social approach; it must integrate questions of justice in debates on the environment, so as to hear both the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor...Everything is connected. Concern for the environment thus needs to be joined to a sincere love for our fellow human beings and an unwavering commitment to resolving the problems of society." (Pope Francis, On Care for Our Common Home [Laudato Si...], nos. 49, 91).

Global Stop Food Waste Day
Stop Food Waste Day is about educating and igniting change...
Food waste is central to some of the key challenges facing the world today, including hunger and poverty, climate change, health and wellbeing and the sustainability of agriculture and oceans.
On Wednesday, April 28th, Holy Cross will begin its Composting Program through the Nutrition Program and within our school. Students will learn about the benefits of composting and be taught how to utilize the resources to be a part of the change in sustainability. The compost we collect will be added to our outdoor composter and then create nutrients for our outdoor gardens.
