“We are asking parishes to map the space they have and take 30% of that space and work with it,” said Jane Mellett, Laudato Si’ officer with the bishops’ development agency, Trócaire. “You could use potted plants in sections of the car park [i.e., parking lot] and stop spraying the car park.”
“It is a chance for catechesis on Laudato Si’,” she added, referring to Pope Francis’s 2015 encyclical letter on care for our common home.
