LIVESIMPLY IN ST MARY’S AND BISHOP ETON

We care about creation and we care about people living in poverty

 Monday is May Day the celebration of which, with Maypoles and Morris dancing, dates back to our pagan heritage when the day marked the start of a new cycle of growth across the land.

Pope Francis repeatedly reminds us that it is our duty as Catholics to live sustainably with creation. So, if you are venturing out into the garden this week to tackle the ‘new cycle of growth’, why not make a May Day resolution and challenge yourself to try something different this year – buy a packet of seeds, or take cuttings, or create a bug hotel, or start a compost heap, or instal a water butt.
