Students and staff in both Laurel Hill Secondary School FCJ and Laurel Hill Coláiste FCJ marked Laudato Si’ Week by planting two new trees in the school garden. Members of the Transition Year Environmental Committee in Laurel Hill Secondary School planted an acer tree, and the 6th Year Prefects from Laurel Hill Coláiste planted a cotoneaster tree. In the blessing which followed, the students prayed that these trees would be a reminder of the school communities’ commitment to care for our environment.
