2. Laudato Si’ and Fratelli Tutti: From Prayer and Reflection to Action with Fr. Augusto Zampini Davies on November 25th at 2 PM
On the 5th anniversary of Pope Francis’s encyclical, Laudato Si’, the Pope has asked all Catholics and people of good will to reflect more deeply on this encyclical on the care of the earth, our common home. This event is a joint effort between St. Basil’s Parish and Canadian Martyr’s Parish.
The first half of our event will be devoted to Pope Francis’ two encyclicals, with Fr. Augusto Zampini Davies -- Adjunct Secretary in the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development -- joining us from Rome as our featured presenter.
In the second part of our discussion, we will move towards forming action groups of interested parishioners who want to work together on projects that fulfil the intentions of Laudato Si'.
We strongly encourage you to prepare with the following materials:
