His encyclical, “Laudato Si”: On Care for Our Common Home, serves as a clarion call to all humankind.

The earth is seen as God’s creation, and humanity is tasked with its responsible management.

Their precise attacking play and solid defence left their opponents struggling to find momentum. The Doves maintained their dominance in the second set, executing well-coordinated plays to secure a 25-17 win.
