Laudato Si' Week 2023

A new edition of Laudato Si' Week is held from May 21 to 28 to celebrate the eighth anniversary of the publication of the encyclical Laudato Si'.

"Hope for the Earth. Hope for humanity", will be this year's guiding theme.

The film "The Letter" which tells the story of four "social poets" affected first-hand by the climate crisis who travel to Rome to meet Pope Francis, will be the main resource guiding the week's events, encouraging people to organize community screenings.

Several global events will take place during the week, including an event dedicated to "The Letter" on Saturday 27, and the conclusion of the Week on Pentecost–Sunday 28.

What is Laudato Si' Week?

Laudato Si’ Week began as a way to celebrate the first anniversary of Pope Francis’ papal encyclical letter, “Laudato Si’: On Care For Our Common Home.” Since then, the annual celebration has become a way for all Catholics to unite and rejoice in the progress we’ve made in bringing Laudato Si’ to life and to commit ourselves to further prayer and action for our common home.

The event is organized by the Vatican Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development, and facilitated by Laudato Si' Movement together with other partners.
