Laudato Si’ Week and Sowing Hope for the Planet Campaign
May 16 – 25
Laudato Si’ Week will be from May 16 to 25. The program will offer dialogue and action to help realize the goals of Laudato Si’ in the care of our common home, mother Earth. The canticle of St. Francis of Assisi, “Praise be to you, O my lord, in all your creatures”, will be a theme in the journey towards an integral ecology. This event is sponsored by the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development and supported by the Global Catholic Climate Movement, with the collaboration of over 150 Catholic organizations. A daily schedule of events, resources, and news is available on the program website at: https://laudatosiweek.org/.
