Going Green during Lent – ideas and resources from Caritas Portsmouth

Jenny LeLean, Head of Charity, shares the latest updates from Caritas Portsmouth and some resources for Lent…

The Diocese Laudato Si’ Network has been gathering some green actions and resources to share this Lent. In the busyness of life, it is easy to slip away from our intention to live more simply, sustainably to take care of God’s creation. So this is a chance to take a moment, to pause, reflect and try a new step in the journey in Caring for our Common Home.
