Dear Laudato Si’ Movement Pilipinas Partner,
Easter greetings from the Laudato Si’ Movement Pilipinas and Partner Organizations.
Laudato Si’ Week began in 2016 as a way to celebrate the first anniversary of Pope Francis’ world-changing papal encyclical letter, “Laudato Si’: On Care for Our Common Home.”
Since then, the annual celebration has become a way for us Catholics to unite and rejoice in the progress we’ve made in bringing Laudato Si’ to life and to further commit ourselves to prayers and actions for our common home.
This year, we will be celebrating Laudato Si’ Week on May 21-28 with the theme “Hope for the Earth, Hope for Humanity”. The Laudato Si’ film “The Letter” which tells the story of four social poets affected first-hand by the climate crisis who traveled to Rome to meet Pope Francis will be the main resource guiding the week’s events. Laudato Si’ Movement is enjoining dioceses, parishes, religious congregations, schools and other institutions, as well as organizations and groups all over the world to organize community screenings of “The Letter” in their respective areas.
For this reason, we would like to invite you to another Online Facilitators Training for Community Screening on Thursday, May 18 from 4PM – 5:30PM. We will be accompanied by the international team of Laudato Si’ Movement. Please click below to receive the link to the online training:

We are happy to inform you that the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines has endorsed the community screening of the Laudato Si’ film “The Letter”.
Please find attached copy of the CBCP endorsement. Thanking you, as always, for your continued support in advancing the call to bring Laudato Si’ to life.
One with you in hope for the Planet and Humanity,
