About Laudato Si
“Laudato Si’: On Care for Our Common Home” is the new appeal from Pope Francis addressed to “every person living on this planet” for an inclusive dialogue about how we are shaping the future of our planet. Pope Francis calls the Church and the world to acknowledge the urgency of our environmental challenges and to join him in embarking on a new path. This encyclical is written with both hope and resolve, looking to our common future with candor and humility. [Source: US Council of Catholic Bishops]

What is the Laudato Si’ Action Plan? The “Laudato Si’ Action Plan,” authored by University of Georgia professors and staff, contains a variety of options for parishes and parishioners to help reverse the threat of global climate change and environmental degradation, and create a more sustainable world in harmony with God. … [All people of the world] are urged by Pope Francis to seek the change of heart that is required to make these actions part of our daily lives.
