Celebrating Laudato Si’ Week, May 21-28, 2023, and the Year of Jean

Since 2015 with the publication of Laudato Si by Pope Francis, our RSHM-RSCM JPIC-UN team has encouraged and shared how we as an international congregation show care for our Common Home. For some months now we have gathered stories of how our Areas are promoting programs to address these concerns. In this year, as we celebrate the Year of Jean Gailhac, it is most appropriate to recognize how similar Father Gailhac’s words and encouragements in the 1800’s are to the urgings of Laudato Si’. Now, honoring Laudato Si Week, our JPIC presents a beautiful reflection and prayer with quotes from Father Gailhac. In the coming days we will share more stories and reflections from our Areas for the Year of Jean Gailhac and of the Season of Creation.
