Laudato Si’ Week is a celebration held annually in May to mark the anniversary of Pope Francis’s landmark encyclical on caring for creation. Sponsored by the Vatican’s Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development, this global celebration unites Catholics to listen and respond together to the cry of creation, rejoice in the progress we have made in bringing Laudato Si’ to life, and intensify our efforts through the Laudato Si’ Action Platform as well as other opportunities for education and action. 

This year Laudato Si’ Week is extra special as we celebrate the 10th anniversary of Laudato Si’ in the Year of Jubilee. It is also a wonderful opportunity to acknowledge with gratitude the incredible inspiration of Pope Francis in caring for our common home.

Our focus this year is debt, and the impact debt has on earth and each other.

Through the global campaign, Turn Debt into Hope, we invite you to stand with us during Laudato Si’ Week.

Together, we can Turn Debt into Hope and build a more just world.
