Dear Thomas,

Laudato Si’ Week 2021 is here!

On Sunday, Pope Francis started the 10-day celebration with his Papal Angelus, a beautiful way to invite the Holy Spirit into the crowning event of the Laudato Si’ Special Anniversary Year.

On Monday, we’re diving into how we can create change for our sisters and brothers around the world ahead of two vital meetings: the UN Biodiversity Conference (COP15) and the 26th UN Climate Change Conference (COP26).
