Celebrate the 5th Anniversary of
Earth, Our Common Home
This week we join millions of Catholics around the world in celebrating Laudato Si’ Week, a commemoration of the fifth anniversary of the publication of Pope Francis’s first encyclical.
The theme for the celebration is “Everything is Connected.”
During Laudato Si’ week, five members of our Boston CSJ Earth Book Club have each prepared personal reflections on favorite parts of Laudato Si’ and its relevance today. A link to one of these reflections will be posted each day this week in the space below. Each reflection ends with a question for your personal reflection. Here is the schedule of these reflections
