Today, people around the world are celebrating the 50th annual Earth Day—including in our Jesuit and broader Catholic community, animated by Pope Francis' call in Laudato Si' to care for our common home.

This year, the ways we mobilize as advocates look very different from the last 49 Earth Days—truly the fabric of our lives and our society has shifted. However, it is still critical that we use our voices on behalf of all of creation—for our earth and for those who are most vulnerable as a result of climate change and other injustices. 

We invite you to join us during the Ignatian Carbon Challenge Earth Week, and to explore the Ignatian network's continued faith and justice response to COVID-19 and continued work to build a more just world. 

Peace, 

Christopher Kerr
Executive Director
