Laudatu Si Ministry
Caring for Our Common Home
"The earth is the Lord’s and all that is in it.” — Psalm 24:1
Inspired by Pope Francis’ encyclical Laudato Si’: On Care for Our Common Home, the Laudato Si’ Ministry is our parish’s response to the call for ecological conversion. We seek to live our faith by protecting God’s creation, promoting sustainability, and standing in solidarity with those most affected by environmental challenges.
Our Mission
​​
Guided by the Gospel and the vision of Laudato Si’, we work to:
​
-
Deepen awareness of the beauty and fragility of creation.
-
Promote sustainable living within our homes, parish, and community.
-
Take action to care for our common home through prayer, education, and environmental initiatives.
-
Inspire others to see creation as a sacred gift entrusted to our care.
​​
Together, in Christ’s love, we strive to make a real and lasting difference — for the earth, for one another, and for generations to come.

Education & Awareness: Talks, workshops,
and reflections on Laudato Si’.
