Join us in celebrating the fifth anniversary of Laudato Si’, Pope Francis’ encyclical on the care of all creation. The pope has invited the global Church to participate in Laudato Si’ Week, May 16-24, a time for prayer, study and action for a more just and sustainable world. As we experience the coronavirus pandemic, now, more than ever, we are reminded of the truth of his words, “everything is connected.”
