Join CHA and the global Catholic community in commemorating the anniversary of Pope Francis' encyclical, "Laudato Si’: On Care For Our Common Home," during Laudato Si’ Week on May 24 to 31, 2025. The theme of Laudato Si’ Week 2025 is "Raising Hope."
Raising Hope Website
To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Laudato Si’ share how your organization is taking action to care for our common home by posting your efforts on the Raising Hope website. This is a wonderful opportunity to show how Catholic health care in the U.S. is supporting the global Catholic Church’s urgent call to protect the planet. Visit the Laudato Si’ Week website for resources, events, and more information about how to share the message of Laudato Si’ with others.
