What a wonderful journey we’ve had together. Ten years ago, inspired by Pope Francis’ prophetic call in Laudato Si’, a small group of faithful individuals set out to live and share the message of ecological conversion. Today, that seed has blossomed into a global movement—uniting thousands of people, communities, and institutions across continents in a common mission: to care for our common home.
From Grassroots to Global: A Network of Hope
What began as a local initiative has grown into a worldwide network, animated by faith and committed to action. Over the past decade, we’ve seen the expansion of this movement into different corners of the globe—thanks to the tireless efforts of passionate volunteers, dedicated partners, and visionary leaders. Together, we’ve created a vibrant community that transcends borders and unites hearts in a shared love for creation.
Faith-Driven Advocacy on the Global Stage
Throughout this journey, our voices have echoed in the halls of power. From COP negotiations to local government halls and beyond, we’ve raised the banner of ecological justice, rooted in faith. Through strategic partnerships with international institutions and interfaith allies, we’ve helped shape global climate policies and ensure that the moral and spiritual dimensions of the crisis are not ignored.
Educating and Forming Changemakers
The Holy Spirit is at the heart of our movement, and we see a wave of people awakening to to the urgent need for ecological justice. Over the years, we’ve equipped thousands with tools to understand and respond to the ecological crisis through dynamic programs, such as the Laudato Si’ Animators. These dedicated leaders have become the lifeblood of the movement, spreading the message of Laudato Si’ in their parishes, schools, and local communities.
The Laudato Si’ Animators Training is one of our most powerful formation tools. This unique program weaves together spirituality, science, community engagement, and advocacy, preparing participants to become local champions for our common home. Alongside other workshops, leadership development programs, educational campaigns, and rich spirituality resources, the Animators embody the spirit of Laudato Si’ in action.
We’ve empowered both Catholics and people of goodwill to become agents of change—grounded in the principles of integral ecology, inspired by faith, and equipped to build a more just and sustainable world.
Integral Ecology in Action
This decade has been marked by countless stories of transformation. Community gardens, renewable energy cooperatives, reforestation projects, ecological retreats, and prophetic acts of resistance—each a testament to the power of faith in action. Our work has consistently demonstrated that ecological conversion is not just an idea; it’s a lived reality expressed through tangible care for people and the planet.
