Dear Friends and Partners,
Greetings from Global Catholic Climate Movement – Pilipinas.
This year we celebrate the 5th year of Pope Francis’ Encyclical Laudato Si’ On Care for our Common Home. Since its release, Laudato Si’ has been and continues to be the source of inspiration and passion to care for our common home for different religious and secular groups. We celebrate Laudato Si’ Week, not just to remember this significant church document but also to articulate its achievements and challenges. Bringing Laudato Si’ to life is as urgent as the climate emergency that we are facing. Considering the reality of the corona virus pandemic, GCCMPilipinas, the official chapter of Global Catholic Climate Movement, and its partner organizations, would like to invite you to the series of online activities to celebrate Laudato Si’ Week 2020 from May 16-24 with the theme, “Everything is Connected.” Because of limited slots, we urge you to pre-register with the link below.
