Laudato Si + Care for Creation

“We have turned this sacred abode into a marketplace.” (Fr. Joshtrom Isaac Kureethadam, Salesian Pontifical University in Rome) He adds: “The contemporary ecological crisis lays bare precisely our incapacity to perceive the physical world as impregnated with divine presence.”

Pope Francis has invited allCatholics and people of goodwill to celebrate the fifth anniversary of his encyclical letter Laudato Si’ by protecting families and future generations through action to care for our common home.

Pope Francis’ groundbreaking encyclical on the environment, Laudato Si’, celebrates its fifth anniversary this month. To commemorate the vision and message of this encyclical, May 16-24 has been designated as Laudato Si’ Week.
