Meditation Group plants Trees!

You may think the parish Meditation Group a bit unworldly, but when the threatened high winds meant that the Youth Group had to cancel their tree planting project last Sunday, it was members of the Meditation Group who ‘picked up the spades’…. The trees had to be planted that day so we, together with some of the local residents who had bought the trees, braved the threatened winds to do the job. Happily the wind and rain held off until we had finished the job by 16.30.

Parish Youth Group combat Climate Change by Planting Trees

On 26 January the Parish Youth Group met to discuss an initiative to combat climate change by planting trees –  in the spirit of Pope Francis’ Encyclical Laudato Si. We watched a video about Laudato Si which you can see: HERE , and another specifically about the difference that planting trees can make: HERE.

Later the young people themselves planted a ‘weeping birch’ tree in the monastery garden. Here are some of Fr Ed’s photos of the occasion:

We will plant four more trees behind a block of flats in Luxembourg City next Sunday afternoon – 9th February.
