In 2015, Pope Francis published an encyclical entitled Laudato Si’. This is a very lengthy work but in essence it was a call to action to Catholics throughout the world to take steps to protect environment and also to assist the poor communities throughout the world in coping with the adverse consequences of climate change which disproportionately impact them. Last year the Vatican created an action platform for Laudato Si’ online seeking grass roots participation from individuals, parishes, dioceses, religious congregations and educational institutions. This new platform defines a seven-year effort to gradually expand participation. All are encouraged and welcome to participate at any level with which they are comfortable. Our ministry, with the support of Fr. Frank and Fr. Bill, will join this action platform on behalf of the Collaborative and will actively participate by publishing our plans and progress so that others may learn from what we do. We will also monitor the platform to learn from the contributions of others. In time we hope to expand this effort to include the advocacy of Laudato Si’ among other parishes in the Archdiocese of Boston.
