​A Commentary and Practical Resource for Canadian Catholics
Published by the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops

61. "But we need only take a frank look at the facts to see that our common home is falling into serious disrepair. Hope would have us recognize that there is always a way out, that we can always redirect our steps, that we can always do something to solve our problems. ”.
Pope Francis, in his encyclical, Laudato Si’, has presented us with a significant contribution to Catholic Social Teaching…..Laudato Si’ sounds an alarm that we have lost our way in addressing this basic human and Christian calling. Our world is falling into serious disrepair, and our way of living is threatening future life on the planet.

Canadian Bishops, ...offer a resource to help Catholics, whether individually or in groups, to engage more deeply with the challenge of Laudato Si’ in their Canadian context. This resource is organized into six chapters, each based on one of the six chapters of Laudato Si’. Each chapter concludes with a series of reflection questions and resources for action, organized under the headings See, Learn, Pray, Act.​

This is another excellent option for fraternities looking to introduce JPIC and Laudato Si' to their fraternities through ongoing formation.​    Download the ​pdf file here.
