Laudato Si’ Week 2022 will be celebrated May 22-29. This will mark the seventh anniversary of Pope Francis’ landmark encyclical on creation care. The global celebration will unite 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 dynamic Laudato Si’ Action Platform, walking the “Synodal” path.
