As Catholics, we have a rich heritage of faith, tradition, and social teaching to draw upon as we seek to live the Gospel faithfully in our own time and situation. As a community of faith, we seek to protect the life and dignity of every person, to care for those who are vulnerable, and to preserve our common home for our children and for future generations. In parishes, dioceses and other Catholic organizations, efforts are being encouraged to bring about discussion on issues affecting the environment (climate change, consumption, pollution, stewardship of the land) that is civil and constructive, that invokes the virtue of prudence in seeking solutions, and that is more responsive to the needs of the poor, both here in the United States and abroad. As Catholics, we have a unique opportunity and responsibility to make a difference in addressing the impacts these issues present, particularly on those least able to endure the burdens. In his Encyclical Letter; Laudato Si’, Pope Francis teaches us that “everything is connected.” He invites all of us to come together in unity with him and other Catholics from around the world for Laudato Si' Week. In an effort to further the awareness of our common care for the world and it's inhabitants here are materials at the link below. They include a summary. Global Common Prayer, and activities.
