Laudato Si’ Week 2023

Laudato Si’ Week is being held in Australia from 16 to 24 May (21 to 28 May Internationally) to celebrate the eighth anniversary of the publication of the encyclical Laudato Si’.

Hope for the Earth. Hope for humanity, is this year’s guiding theme.

What is Laudato Si’ Week?

Laudato Si’ Week began as a way to celebrate the first anniversary of Pope Francis’ papal encyclical letter, Laudato Si’: On Care For Our Common Home. Since then, the annual celebration has become a way for all Catholics to unite and rejoice in the progress we’ve made in bringing Laudato Si’ to life and to commit ourselves to further prayer and action for our common home.

The event is organised by the Vatican Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development, and facilitated by Laudato Si’ Movement together with other partners.

The film “The Letter,” which tells the story of four “social poets” affected first-hand by the climate crisis who travel to Rome to meet Pope Francis, is a great guiding resource, and the organisers are encouraging its viewing throughout the week.
