An Easter Homily from Pope Francis
News 16 AprilAs we move towards the celebration of Easter, Pope Francis reminds us of the meaning and joy of the passion, death, and resurrection of Jesus.
ACU’s first annual Sustainability Week is underway. The event is an opportunity for ACU staff and students to come together and explore how we can contribute to a better world.
Sustainability Week activities explore how we can all contribute to caring for our common home and supporting the United Nations Sustainability Development Goals. These 17 goals represent a comprehensive approach to sustainability which includes caring for the environment, addressing poverty and reducing inequalities, fostering peace and justice, and creating sustainable communities.
Pope Francis has provided a wonderful vision of these goals in his encyclical on caring for our common home, Laudato si’, which inspires us as a Catholic university.
ACU staff and students are invited to join in the range of Zoom events below – please email jessica.cassidy@acu.edu.au to register and obtain the Zoom link. The events will also be live-streamed on Workplace to enable ongoing participation and viewing.
Join the Sustainability@ACU group on Workplace for ongoing updates and resources.
