Call to Respond to Ecological Crisis: Worldwide Day of Prayer on May 24th


Pope Francis invites the Church to celebrate the fifth anniversary of Laudato Si’ Week.
On May 24th at noon local time bring solidarity to our world in a shared moment of prayer.






“What kind of world do we want to leave to those who will come after us, to children who are growing up? I renew my urgent call to respond to the ecological crisis, the cry of the Earth and the cry of the poor cannot continue. Let’s take care of creation, a gift of our good creator God. Let’s celebrate Laudato Si’ Week together” Pope Francis March 2020


Laudato Si’ Week honors the fifth anniversary of Pope Francis’ encyclical on care for our common home. The theme of the week is “everything is connected.”


We’re living through history-shaping events. Laudato Si’ teaches us how to build a better world–together.

Stand united with our brothers and sisters in faith as we grow through the crisis of this moment to build a better tomorrow.
  • Join the worldwide day of prayer, 24 May
  • Put preparation into action during the Season of Creation, this September
The Green Churches Network website offers a wealth of information to get you familiar with Laudato Si’.  There are downloads available (highlights, discussion questions, and the encyclical itself) as well as an informative summary with key elements by Norman Levesque.
