Laudato Si’ Week (24-31 May 2025)
Laudato Si’ Week 2025
‘Raising Hope – Living Laudato Si’ conference on Sunday 25 May, Clonard Monastery Belfast
On behalf of Down and Connor Laudato Si Group, we invite you and representatives from your Parish to attend a conference ‘Raising Hope – Living Laudato Si’ on Sunday 25 May in Clonard Monastery Belfast, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the encyclical. (Register for the Conference)
The conference will start at 2.30pm, ending at 4.30pm, and will be opened by Professor John Barry, QUB, with presentations from Eco – Congregation Ireland, Trócaire and Laudato Si’ animators. Contributors will share the support that is available – helping us in our journey to implement the messages of the encyclical.
There will be opportunity to meet with friends from Parishes within the Diocese and to hear at first hand details on projects that they have in place and how these are being resourced. All of us can cooperate as instruments of God for the care of creation, each according to his or her own culture, experience, involvements and talents (LS14).
You are also invited to a photographic exhibition on ‘Care for Our Common Home’ which will be on display. The exhibition was undertaken by the Westcourt Centre, Belfast (part of the global Edmund Rice network) to mark the 10th anniversary of publication of the encyclical. Rather than a problem to be solved, the world is a joyful mystery to be contemplated with gladness and praise (LS12).
