The Vatican has invited all Catholic institutions to submit Laudato Si’ Action Platform plans focused on healing our relationships with God, our neighbors, and the Earth. Supported by the Jesuit’s Universal Apostolic Preferences and grounded in our parish’s long standing commitment to social mission, we are excited to share our plan for renewal with you. This living document introduces a new lens appropriate to this kairos moment, a new paradigm for our social mission and justice work: Care for our Common Home, a home that necessarily includes both our human families and all of creation. It is divided into four focus areas: Pray, Learn, Act, and Advocate. As you explore the plan, we invite you to discern where the Spirit might be calling you to engage with it in your life and the ministries where you serve. You can find the full plan online. Please reach out to our Director of Social Mission, Tim Severyn, to get involved in this work. Children’s Liturgy of the Word Leaders Needed
