Last week, Catholics around the world celebrated Laudato Si' Week, marking the 5th anniversary of Pope Francis' landmark encyclical on the environment. The week focused on interconnectedness during a time when we are experiencing it more than ever in light of COVID-19.
Laudato Si' Week illustrated our ability as a human family to connect in new, digital ways to continue to live out our commitment to faith and justice. Below, find some ways to connect with these efforts, along with opportunities to dive deeper into work for racial and immigration justice.
Peace,
 Christopher Kerr
Executive Director
