Eco-Parish Guide
Pope Francis’ encyclical Laudato Si’ challenges us to CARE FOR OUR COMMON HOME by growing in faith, hope, and love—and so live in healthy relationships with God, neighbor, and all creation. We are called to be ecological citizens, to make prudent decisions, and to take sometimes bold actions. In the particular matter of climate change, we are cautioned to reduce emissions of pollutants like carbon dioxide when it is in our control.
LAUDATO SI’ ACTION PLATFORM
The Dicastry for Human Development is launching a Laudato Si’ Action Platform. The Vatican-led effort will empower Catholic institutions, communities, and families to implement Laudato Si’. Check it out here:
On 14 November, the World Day of Prayer for the Poor, they will begin offering Laudato Si’ Planning Guides to help you discern and implement your response to Laudato Si. Parishes and individuals are encouraged to check back as the platform develops.
