Through his 2015 encyclical, Laudato Sí , Pope Francis gives us practical advice on how to tackle these world problems. He starts by asking each one of us, “What kind of world do we want to leave to those who come after us, to children growing up?”

As Catholics this is a time to pray and act, a time to renew our commitment to live in right relationship with God, creation and each other. Care of our Common Home is the call of Laudato Si` to each of us, to consider how we can become stewards of creation, for positive action and renewal.

Interested in participating in helping to change our world for the better? Join us! Help us bring to our Collaborative the messages from the Pope’s encyclical and give practical suggestions for how to implement his ideas at home.

From May 24 – 31, we celebrate the 10th anniversary of Pope Francis’ encyclical, Laudato Si – his powerful call for us to care for God’s creation, humanity’s common home.  

Please take a moment to listen to Pope Francis’ prayer for the earth:
