Ahead of the fifth anniversary of his groundbreaking encyclical, Pope Francis calls us to participate in Laudato Si’ Week, to be held 16-24 May.
In his video, Pope Francis urged us to care for God’s creation.
“I renew my urgent call to respond to the ecological crisis, the cry of the Earth and the cry of the poor cannot continue,” Pope Francis said. “Let’s take care of creation, a gift of our good Creator God. Let’s celebrate Laudato Si’ Week together.”
Pope Francis is calling us to take the next step in our journey towards the healing of creation. He’s asking us to join together in hope as we sincerely reflect on our actions and take the ambitious next step.

The global celebration of Laudato Si’ Week will commemorate the fifth anniversary of Laudato Si’, the first papal encyclical dedicated to ecology. Since its publication, Pope Francis’ inspirational guidance has led thousands of Catholic communities to undergo an ecological conversion and respond to his urgent call.
Pope Francis invites us all to take a step forward in protecting creation. Whether your community’s next step is holding a first prayer service for creation or installing solar panels, you are called to join the movement.
“I would like to invite you to participate in Laudato Si’ Week,” he said.
