Inspired by Catholic Social Teaching, ecological justice is one of the five areas of focus for Development and Peace – Caritas Canada.
This week we celebrate the 10th Anniversary of Laudato Si’, Pope Francis’s encyclical that focuses on environmental and climate justice.
In celebrating the resurrection of Christ during this year of Jubilee and reflecting on the legacy of our beloved Pope Francis, let us call to mind our responsibility to care for all of Creation. This includes our brothers and sisters in the Global South experiencing devastating debt, the Earth, and all people living at the margins. Easter Sunday and the global Earth Week began at the same time this year. In May we will celebrate the 10th anniversary of the papal encyclical Laudato Si’ and reflect on our commitments to climate justice and care for our Earth that are needed now more than ever.
