"On Tuesday in a video message addressing Catholic communities around the world, Pope Francis announced the celebration of Laudato si  Week in May to honor the encyclical’s fifth anniversary.

“What kind of world do we want to leave to those who will come after us, to children who are growing up? Motivated by this question, I would like to invite you to participate in Laudato Si’ Week from 16-24 May 2020. It is a global campaign on the occasion of the fifth anniversary of the encyclical letter Laudato si’: On the care of our common home.”

In his message, Pope Francis renewed his global call to respond the ongoing climate crisis.

“The cry of the earth and the cry of the poor cannot continue. Let’s take care of creation, a gift of our good Creator God. Let’s celebrate Laudato Si’ Week together.”
