The Vatican has launched a bold new initiative for creation.
This May, Catholic communities around the world will take bold new action to protect creation during Laudato Si’ Week.
Five years ago, Pope Francis published Laudato Si’, which sowed seeds of deep conversion. These last five years have seen a flowering of prayer and action for our common home.
But we know that the tides are strong. Climate change, mass extinction, and a poverty of spirit threaten to sweep away the progress we’ve made so far.
That’s why the Vatican’s Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development is calling us. They ask us to join together in hope as we honestly reflect on our actions and take the next step together.

With you, we pray thanks for the leadership of Pope Francis and of the thousands of Catholic communities that are bringing his vision to life. “Truly, much can be done!”
