Archdiocese Launches New Laudato Si’ Local Action Plan for Protecting the Planet
 
Marking the fifth anniversary of Pope Francis’ encyclical on care for the environment, the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Washington launches today, our Laudato Si’ Action Plan: Embarking On A Seven-Year Journey Promoting An Integral Ecology. The Action Plan, linked here at adw.org/laudatosi offers easy, moderate, and advanced strategies for individuals, parishes, schools and other institutions to work toward protecting the Earth, our common home, and all human life. Please note that the link includes a Spanish translated action plan.  If you are interested in helping to plan how St. Rose will be a part of this please contact Sherry Moitoza.
