Environment Laudato Si

In 2015, Pope Francis shared his encyclical, Laudato Si' — teaching the world that care for the things of the earth is necessarily bound together with our care of one another, especially the poor. CHA, in response, has produced several resources — videos, articles, reflection resources — to help Catholic health ministry consider our calling in light of the Holy Father's message.

Visit the official Laudato Si' website to browse the essential aspects of the encyclical, the news, the stories, the map of the initiatives and other resources and access the Action Platform.

 

Laudato Si Action Platform

The Laudato Si’ Action Platform is a groundbreaking faith-driven and ecological initiative to engage the Catholic Church in a seven-year journey to global sustainability and spiritual conversion. The Platform is a collaboration between the Vatican and a coalition of Catholic organizations across the world, including in the United States. You are invited to embark on this effort along with CHA and others in the U.S. Catholic community, as we join our brothers and sisters around the world. Register on the platform to share your organization's environmental sustainability action plan and learn how others are taking action.

"I encourage those with political and economic responsibilities to act now with courage and foresight."
- Pope Francis
