Welcome to the Laudato Si’ Animators Community

Registration for our Laudato Si’ Animators program is now open! Please leave us your contact information in the interest form so we can send you relevant information about the program, which will open April 28, 2025.

Laudato Si’ Animators are members of the Laudato Si Movement, a global community of prayer and action, who animate their local parishes and communities to engage in ecological spirituality, sustainable lifestyles and advocacy for climate and ecological justice. Animators work to bring Pope Francis’s encyclical Laudato Si’ to life and care for our common home.

“Start by doing what’s necessary; then do what’s possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.”

St. Francis of Assisi.

Your story matters. Your story can and will move people to take action. Throughout history, stories have moved people in ways that mere facts or numbers simply cannot. Stories connect with us on an emotional level and make us want to take action and stay involved.

In order to truly bring Laudato Si’ to life and to care for creation throughout the world, it will take all of us taking action and telling our stories. Your voice matters. Thank you for sharing your story!

Turning despair into action for creation

Turning despair into action for creation

For Knox Peden, Laudato Si’ and the Catholic Church’s response to climate change have done much more than simply motivate him to act. The message of Pope Francis’ landmark encyclical on climate change and ecology helped convince Peden to join the Catholic Church.

In Brazil, responding to Laudato Si’ as a community

Rodrigo Fadul of Brazil turned his personal reaction to Laudato Si’ into a community response earlier this year. Rodrigo felt moved by Pope Francis’ encyclical on climate change and ecology that calls on all people to take action against the climate crisis and care for creation.
