10 Years of Laudato Si’

It’s been 10 years since Pope Francis released his encyclical, Laudato Si’: On Care for Our Common Home. During these 10 years, Laudato Si’ has become more than the title of Pope Francis’ encyclical. It has become a movement, a verb (people are seen to be ‘doing’ or ‘not doing’ Laudato Si’), and it is an adjective (That isn’t very Laudato Si’!).

To celebrate, Garratt Publishing will be hosting a series of Ecology Webinars. Each webinar will be hosted by Alice Carwardine who will be joined by a selection of guest speakers.

Accreditation will be available.

The webinars will focus on:

  • *April – Generation Laudato Si’
  • May – Laudate Deum
  • August – Jesus and the Natural World
  • November – Ecotheology

If you would like to be notified when the webinar details have been finalised, click here.

*The first webinar, Generation Laudato Si’, focused on how young people within the Church have been ‘doing Laudato Si’’ for 10 years and their plans and dreams for the future. For more information and to view the recording of the event, click here.
