The Diocese is bringing back its Laudato Si’ Mini Pilgrimages and events: one for each ‘Season of Creation’

Anyone thinking of going should email communications@dioceseofleeds.org.uk with their name, parish and a mobile phone number.

( note that this was originally going to take place on May 24th but the date had to be changed)

Originally scheduled for 08 May, Austen was unable to make that date as he was part of the BBC teamcovering the election of the new pope.

You are invited to join the Northern Dioceses Environment Group and the Southern Dioceses Environment Network for this evening of celebration for the 10th Anniversary of Laudato Si’ – On the Care of Our Common Home.

The publication of the papal encyclical, Laudato Si‘, galvanised Catholics around the world and in every country to unite with those of all other faiths and none in the common cause of caring for our home planet and all the people on it.

Pope Francis urged us to integrate questions of justice into our debates on the environment, ‘so as to hear both the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor’ – for they are one and the same thing. (LS, 49)

Both the Northern and Southern environment groups grew out of a desire to put the teaching of the encyclical into practice.

In this meeting our speaker and facilitator, Austen Ivereigh, will help us to reflect on where we have come in the last ten years and what we are being called to do in the next ten.

Anyone who registered for the original zoom is asked to re-register – so we know how many to expect (there is a limit).
