Laudato Si 

What is Laudato Si

Inspired by Pope Francis’ second encyclical (Laudato Si’) devoted to environmentalism and integral ecology, this committee aims to advocate environmentally friendly practices amongst parishioners through education, formation and upcycling projects. In addition, the committee strives to guide parish ministries in adopting environmentally friendly practices by reducing wastage and using environmentally friendly materials.

In Laudato Si’, Pope Francis sets out the destruction that Man is rendering to the environment and each other, in the form of the following:

• Pollution and Climate Change
• Lack of Access to Drinkable Water
• Loss of Biodiversity (i.e. extinction of plants and animals
• Decline in the Quality of Human Life and the Breakdown of Society
• Global Inequality

In light of the ecological crisis our world is facing, Laudato Si’ is an invitation to ecological conversion, by reshaping our lifestyle, in order to halt environmental degradation and encourage a “culture of care”.

The Season of creation is a annual celebration of prayer and action to protect our common home. It starts from the 1st September which is the World day of prayer for Creation and ends  till 4th Oct Feast of St. Francis of Assisi.
