Saturday, October 26 at 9:30am
St. John the Evangelist – Powers Hall
(Lower Level of the Church)
9 Glen Road, Wellesley, MA 02481
In his encyclical, Laudato Si’, Pope Francis urges us to listen to the cries of the poor and cries of the earth. We are called to protect life and preserve all that sustains life on earth. As Catholics, what can we do? what moral obligations do we have to understand and respond? what responsibility do we have to engage and act? During the webinar, two national Social Justice leaders will discuss the moral imperatives of caring for God’s creation and helping us to discover opportunities to work together to confront these calamities. Please join us as we discover opportunities to work together in caring for creation.
The webinar will be moderated by Deacon Tim Donohue, Co-Leader of RCAB Social Justice Ministries, and the featured speakers are:
Bishop Mark O’Connell, RCAB Auxiliary Bishop and Vicar General of Boston
Dr. Erin Lothes, Theologian and Manager of the Laudato Si’ Movement Animators Program
Dr. Christina Slentz, Diocesan Director for Care of Creation, Archdiocese of San Diego (CA)
