This year, 2020, we celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day and the 5th Anniversary of Pope Francis’ encyclical on the environment, Laudato Si. Both anniversaries call us to focus our attention and care on our common home, Earth, and to make meaningful and sustainable responses to her suffering. In solidarity with people all around the world, the SSNDs of the AM and CP Provinces invite you to participate in these anniversaries in the following way. From April 1 to May 24 when Laudato Si’ Week ends, please use the following resources individually or with members of your communities.
1) Prayer for the 2020 Anniversaries
2) Read and Discuss Just Act—“My Work is Loving the World”: Responding to Our Climate Crisis on the Anniversaries of Earth Day and Laudato Si’
You can also open and print Just Act - My Work is Loving the World - Here
3) Participate in the May 7 Webinar with Dr. Mary Evelyn Tucker (information forthcoming)
4) Share these resources with your families, friends and contacts
