Laudato Si’ Week 2025
24 – 31 May 2025
“Let us sing as we go. May our struggles and our concern for this planet never take away the joy of our hope.” Laudato Si’ 244
You’re invited to organize an event for Laudato Si’ Week, to bring Pope Francis’ message to the world.
This year, the Laudato Si’ Movement celebrates a milestone: it’s been 10 years since Pope Francis published Laudato Si’. During Laudato Si’ Week, honour his legacy by reflecting, rejoicing, and reaching your neighbours.
Get Laudato Si’ Week resources to help organise an event to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the encyclical. Aim to invite 10 people who haven’t heard the Laudato Si’ message. There are five practical suggestions for the type of event you could hold, along with excellent resources.
