Laudato Si Link

2025 marks the centenary of the Canticle of Creatures and the tenth anniversary of Pope Francis’ encyclical, Laudato Si. As this is also the Jubilee Year with the theme of “Pilgrims of Hope”, St Francis serves as a true example of a Pilgrim of Hope. In Laudato Si, Pope Francis described St Francis’ deep love and reverence for God, all humanity and all God’s creatures. The Canticle of Creatures was the inspiration behind Pope Francis’ encyclical, Laudato Si.
