Each year, Laudato Si’ Week calls us to reflect on and act to care for our common home. In 2025, this commemoration takes on a special significance: we celebrate 10 years since the publication of the encyclical Laudato Si’, a document that profoundly transformed the way the Church and thousands of communities around the world understand and respond to the ecological and climate crisis.
We have for you some events that reflect how different corners of the world are carrying forward Pope Francis’ prophetic legacy, connecting faith, justice and action.
