Laudato Si' Week
Tomorrow, May 16, the Laudato Si' Week will begin, and end on May 24, to celebrate the fifth anniversary of Pope Francis' encyclical on the care of the common house, signed on May 24, 2015.
When this international initiative was conceived we were far from imagining the pandemic situation we are experiencing. But the theme EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED allows us to revisit the encyclical in dialogue with our current experience, relating the "cry of the earth" to the "cry of the poor".
We will share here the different initiatives that are taking place during this week.
Watch the invitation of Pope Francis to celebrate Laudato Si' Week.
