On behalf of the Sudbury Catholic District School Board, Happy Earth Day. On this occasion, let us marvel at the natural beauty surrounding us and take a moment to appreciate our planet for all it provides every day by praying together in the Earth Day prayer shared by Pope Francis. 

While we celebrate and honour the environment all year long, today, on Earth Day, it is a special opportunity for our community to reflect on our actions and strengthen our commitment as stewards of the Earth. 

Planet earth is a gift which must be respected and cared for.  Together it is our responsibility to preserve it for future generations. 

Although there are many ways we can contribute today and every day, let us promise to continue to treat the Earth a little better every day moving forward. Happy Earth Day!
