Today is World Food Day 2025, we join millions around the globe in reflecting on one of the most urgent challenges of our time: ensuring that every person has access to healthy, sustainable, and sufficient food. #world #food #day #worldfoodday #fao @fao

A value is shared. The Laudato Si Club of Divine Mercy S.S.S. visited their sister school, Divine Mercy Nursery & Primary School, to share the urgent message of Caring for Our Common Home. They held an interactive session with the pupils, discussing:

* Reasons why young people must lead in environmental conservation
♻️ Simple ways to care for the environment
🚫 Harmful human activities to avoid
🏡 Eco-friendly practices to do at home
🌳 Tree species that help protect the ozone layer etc..

They concluded their visit by planting a memorial tree and donating various tree seedlings to beautify the school environment. This is true of the phrase “Everyone’s efforts are needed” from Pope Francis’s encyclical Laudato Si #laudatoyouthinitiative #laudatosi

Together we can end plastic pollution

“Living our vocation to be protectors of God’s

“Living our vocation to be protectors of God’s handiwork is essential to a life of virtue; it is not an optional or a secondary aspect of our Christian experience.” — Laudato Si’, 217

Friends we are invited to actively live out our faith unity, and care for Gods creation, making our lives a witness not only in word or prayer, but in both leading to concrete action.

Saint Francis of Assisi, in the fulfillment of his

Saint Francis of Assisi, in the fulfillment of his evangelical life, confirmed by the gift of the stigmata, composed the Canticle of the Creatures, the eighth centenary of which we have just celebrated. It is the culmination of his journey of conversion and conformity to the Poor and Crucified Christ, where his gaze on the universe, now almost extinguished by illness and the trials of life, recalls for us that vision of 19 hope in which the world is something more than a problem to be solved; it is a joyful mystery that we contemplate in joy and praise. (Laudato si, 12).

In rediscovering this text we are urged to be grateful for the unpayable debt of love we owe to God and to the world: today more than ever we are called to restore hope, to sing it again and again in praise of God and for the joy of our brothers and sisters.

Young people committed to building a climate resil

Young people committed to building a climate resilience world. They understand that climate change is not just an environmental issue; it is a moral one. It calls us to work together, united across faiths and backgrounds, to protect our common home, which we all inherit. This truth is lived out powerfully in Nandere, and our Laudato Si Club at Wakatayi Primary School @bethanylandinstitute where youth are taking action and leading by example.

The launch of the Laudato Si’ Club at Wakatayi w

The launch of the Laudato Si’ Club at Wakatayi with @bethanylandinstitute was more than symbolic, it’s a living example of what interfaith action for ecological justice looks like:

Students will engage in activities such as tree planting, school clean-ups, water conservation, and environmental education.

Faith leaders from both Muslim and Christian communities have come together to bless the initiative, showing that care for creation transcends religious boundaries.

SECAM: Africa Must Lead on Climate Justice Meanwh

SECAM: Africa Must Lead on Climate Justice

Meanwhile the Catholic Church in Africa declared that the climate crisis a moral and ecological emergency. Despite contributing least to global emissions, Africa bears the brunt of its impacts. The way forward

1. Africa-led solutions rooted in indigenous wisdom
2. Renewable energy like solar to end energy poverty
3. Climate finance with justice not debt
4. Reject false solutions and fossil fuel expansion
5. Bold, urgent action grounded in Laudato Si’ and Laudate Deum

The Church to commit to ecological conversion, advocacy at COP30, and building a green, resilient Africa.

Laudato Youth Initiative strives to build a Climate Resilient generation and now inspired by the message “Africa must rise as a moral voice and agent of its own transformation.”

“We must shift from collecting data to caring…

“We must shift from collecting data to caring…” said Pope Leo XIV in his address for the 10th anniversary of Laudato Si’, The Holy Father reminded us that the crisis of our day is not only environmental or political; it is spiritual. He challenged us to embrace ecological conversion, rooted in love, solidarity, and justice. Our takeaway points were;

The cry of the Earth and the cry of the poor are not separate. Caring for creation is inseparable from caring for humanity, especially those most vulnerable.

Real change demands communal conversion from policy and innovation, but first of all from the heart.

The most effective solutions will not come from individuals alone but from strong political decisions framed by ethical and ecological consciousness. #LaudatoYouthInitiative United for Climate Action #RaisingHope #laudatosi Si’ @seasonofcreation @borgolaudatosi.en
