FSA June 2020 eNewsletter

Within our newsletter are some reflections on Laudato si’ including ideas for action in your school community – like great online sites for browsing Australian secondhand clothes, including The Closet and Mottainai.  We are also proud to launch our specialty resource ‘Franciscan Voices’ – this will be a distinctly Franciscan series of articles from Franciscan scholars around the globe, exclusively for you from FSA. Fr John Boyd-Bolan writes about Laudato si’ and we will send another in a couple of weeks. Check it out!
