Dear Roger,

As the year closes, it’s hard not to reflect on the year's challenges and triumphs for humanity and our common home.

It's been a year of deep reflection about what is important to us — individually and collectively — today and for our future.

We have a big year ahead for our common home, humanity, and as we continue to navigate the pandemic sweeping the globe.

Please keep GCCM and all of our community partners, Laudato Si’ Animators, and Member Organizations who are fighting for climate justice in your prayers in the coming year.

Dircia Belo of Timor-Leste, a southeast Asian island nation, was one of the more than 4,000 people who became Laudato Si’ Animators in 2020.

Members of the Global Catholic Climate Movement network attend Pope Francis’ Sunday Angelus prayer on 4 October, during which Pope Francis thanked GCCM for its work in caring for our common home.

Amid the crises shaking our world, the movement of GCCM changemakers are bringing hope and creating real change in communities. There truly couldn’t be a more urgent time to be building a movement of bold Catholics caring for our climate and working towards a more just future for all.

We ask, if you are able to, to please consider making a donation to support our programs (18,000+ Laudato Si' Animators, 750+ Member Organizations, 500+ Circles, 40+ Chapters, 1,000+ in Laudato Si' Generation) that are offered free of charge and filled with moments of light and hope for all of us and our common home.

Blessings and gratitude,

Tomás Insua
Executive Director
Global Catholic Climate Movement

P.S. Please consider making a donation or joining our monthly giving program before the end of the year.
