Laudato Si' Week

Join CHA and the global Catholic community in commemorating the anniversary of Pope Francis’ encyclical, “Laudato Si': On Care For Our Common Home," during Laudato Si' Week on May 21 to 28, 2023.

The theme of Laudato Si’ Week 2023 is "Hope for the Earth. Hope for Humanity" and will be celebrated with the film "The Letter." This global celebration will unite Catholics to rejoice in the progress we have made in bringing Laudato Si' to life, and show how the protagonists of "The Letter" are already doing so.

Visit the Laudato Si’ Week website for resources, events, and more information about how to host a screening of the Letter.

CHA also offers resources (see below) for Catholic health care to use in their Laudato Si' Week activities.
