Laudato Si’ Animators
Laudato Si’ Animators are local leaders who strive to live Laudato Si’ in their own lives while inspiring and motivating others in their communities to bring Laudato Si’ to life as well.
We need each other in this journey for a better future. Working together, we are building a mass scale movement to address the ecological crisis and climate emergency.

Your content goes here. Edit or remove this text inline or in the module Content settings. You can also style every aspect of this content in the module Design settings and even apply custom CSS to this text in the module Advanced settings.
This course will empower you to bring Laudato Si’ to life:
- Learn how Laudato Si’ is part of Catholic social teaching to protect human dignity and the common good.
- Understand the causes of climate change and how it affects “the least of these”.
- See your deep connections to this crisis–and to the movement that’s solving it.
- Practice leadership in your community and reflect on your growth together.
- Connect to your faith and the values we hold dear.
- Dedicate yourself to a lifelong journey of ecological conversion, protecting our sisters and brothers and the common home we share.
- If you, your parish, or religious order are able to, please make a donation at www.catholicclimatemovement.global/donate.
- Please also speak with your Employer’s Human Resources Department (or consult your employee handbook) to see if they will make a donation (i.e. Volunteer grant) in honor of the time you volunteer with GCCM, or if they will match your gift. Many employers offer these types of employee benefits to both current and retired employees, but many employees do not know it’s offered.
Stories
Stories from the Animators
How 57 people across 10 countries delivered Laudato Si’, the audiobook
During the recent Season of Creation, the Colombia chapter of the Global Catholic Climate Movement had an idea: How can we more broadly share the life-changing message of Laudato Si’, one of integral ecology, caring for our common home, and uniting with our sisters and brothers across the world to work against the climate crisis?
Fighting Death and Finding My Future as an Educator for Creation
I was not aware that God was leading me toward a new direction and preparing me for a new mission. It is only now, after putting the pieces together, that I understand and appreciate the big picture. I must say that I am in awe seeing myself in this beautiful picture, hand-crafted by God.
How to live, not just read, Laudato Si’
We set out to create a Laudato Si’ Circle after celebrating Earth Day in 2019. As Laudato Si’ Animators, we saw the need to start with something.
Small lifestyle changes that will help you realize ‘the cry of the Earth is the cry of the poor’
I was not fully attending to a true ecological conversion for conversion is integral, since it is a force that attends to all the dimensions of our life. It is true that I had begun with the spiritual, but the other necessary dimensions were missing: the human, the economic, and the political.
Experiencing a new type of eco-conversion
Laudato Si’ Animator training left a permanent mark on my life by helping me undergo my ecological conversion, which prompted me to involve my children and other young people in living Laudato Si’.
Experiencing a new type of eco-conversion
The Laudato Si’ Animators program has helped me widen my view of my relationship with creation, and I am seeing that perhaps I have a larger role to play in caring for creation. Perhaps it is time to pass on my love of creation to others. Perhaps I need to actively share my process of discovery, joy, and gratitude with those who are interested.
