Laudato Si’

Following the instruction of Pope Francis' encyclical Laudato Si’, Sacred Heart Parish has committed to creating a Creation Care Team at our parish.

Our Laudato Si' Creation Care team welcomes you to study the Laudato Si' at home, or read the newest encyclical, Fratelli Tutti. Our classes have concluded for the season, but we hope you'll join us and become a part of our team and/or become a Laudato Si' animator.

Read Laudato Si’

As an individual, you can also sign up to become a Laudato Si’ animator, which provides an opportunity to work on a project to help one’s local community. The Church’s call to prayer and action regarding care for God’s creation is for all of us, and engaging also provides an opportunity for teens and college students needing a service project or community service hours.

On Oct. 4, 2023, Pope Francis released the 2nd part of the Laudato Si', "Laudate Deum" ("Praise God"), his apostolic exhortation on the climate crisis. We hope you'll read it!
