Laudato Si Voices | Laudato Si Voices Magazine | September 24, 2026
In this edition, discover how Catholic youth are sparking change through hands-on environmental restoration, creative climate education, inventive STEM projects, and powerful digital storytelling for integral ecology. Dive into inspiring updates on El Niño, fresh approaches to mental health, and practical advice on coming together for climate action while harnessing technology and AI responsibly for the greater good.
This edition highlights the Laudato Si’ Green Festival in Jinja, the Nature Walk in Fort Portal, the Laudato Si’ Seminar in Mbarara, and our tree-planting initiatives throughout Uganda.
It also features the Uganda Martyrs Day celebrations in Rome, the 800th anniversary of St. Francis of Assisi, and King Oyo’s ecological legacy. These events remind us that climate action thrives when we unite our talents and resources.
Stories from Laudato Si’ Clubs in schools, universities, parishes, dioceses, and communities reveal how nurturing ecological communities rooted in faith, guided by the wisdom of elders, and enriched by local cultures effectively advances the message of Laudato Si’ among young people in Uganda.
Visits by Laudato Youth leaders to various Laudato Si’ Clubs were particularly inspiring, highlighting a growing commitment among young people to translate care for creation into tangible, enduring action within their institutions, churches, and communities.
As you engage with this edition, I encourage you to reflect on the words of Pope Francis: “everything is connected.” The urgency of caring for our common home requires immediate action. It begins with each of us, in how we perceive nature, support one another, and apply our unique abilities to foster positive change.
May this edition spark a deeper appreciation for the dedication of Laudato Youth and ignite your own passion to discover how you, too, can make a difference.
No matter your role, your actions matter. Join the Laudato Youth Initiative and stand together for climate action. Together, we can weave care for our common home into the fabric of daily life.
I hope you find inspiration and renewed commitment in the 14th Edition of Laudato Voices Magazine.
