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.

Laudato Si’ Animators play a critical role in promoting sustainability and addressing urgent environmental challenges. If you are able, consider making a gift to pay it forward or give what you can to help us train more people in the Animators program by making a donation today!

The LSA program is open to all, with no fee, whether or not you choose to donate.

Already a Laudato Si’ Animator?

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!

Green funerals respect our loved ones and God’s creation

Green funerals are a way to respect God’s creation while “paying our respects” for those we love. A Laudato Si’ Animator shows us what considerations should be made, as part of a series which encourages more eco-friendly practices in the parish.
