Local Action for Climate Resilience. In Bundibugyo

Local Action for Climate Resilience. In Bundibugyo, Uganda, Mr. John Tumwesige, leader of our Laudato Si’ Club at St. Padre Pio Nyahuka Parish, shared with us how they are witnessing the harsh realities of climate change, from floods that sometimes disrupt learners study program to droughts that affect food production seasons and ecosystems in the area

But even with limited means, John and his team are building resilience through local environmental and economic initiatives growing cocoa and planting fruit and indigenous resilient trees, advancing soil conservation, and youth-led awareness.

They dream of going even further: transforming their work into a proactive, long-term climate resilience strategy for their community and we believe they can.

Faith. Action. Hope. This is what Laudato Si’ in Uganda looks like and remains key to our Laudato Si Clubs

Drawing inspiration from the Africa Climate Summit

Drawing inspiration from the Africa Climate Summit and the resilience-building focus on tMitigation, Adaptation and Societal Transformation (MAST) framework Model, Laudato Si’ Clubs are becoming vital spaces where innovation faith and ecological education meet. These clubs are not only teaching young people the values of integral ecology rooted in Catholic social teaching, but also engaging them in hands-on, practical activities that promote sustainable environmental stewardship.

As Fr. John Leonard shares from our Laudato Si’ Club of St. Joseph Buyinjabutoole Parish, young learners are being formed not just in faith, but in action learning better methods of protecting creation while building community resilience in the face of climate change.

The once-clear waters of Uganda’s most iconic La

The once-clear waters of Uganda’s most iconic Lake Bunyonyi are now changing and not for the better but turning brown and murky. According to media reports Fish are suffocating. Foul smells fill the air. Locals are afraid to use the water.

What could be going on?
Some think it might be Siltation from erosion, others Organic pollution from runoff and others Oxygen depletion suffocating aquatic life the real cause is yet to be established.

Lake Bunyonyi’s case is a serious issue that must re awaken everyones concern. Suspected to be environmental stress this will put the communities that depend on it are at risk as well. In the meantime it would be a strong lesson for us Ugandans to act locally and
✔️ Restore shoreline vegetation
✔️ Practice eco-friendly farming
✔️ Support local conservation efforts and much more as we wait to see the government decision Lake Buyonyi’s incident is a strong lesson for us to reflect on our water conservation practices.

We shouldn’t let this natural treasure become a memory.
Let us unite in action and solidarity to raise awareness and protect Bunyonyi and other water bodies of the pearl of Africa

World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation 🌱

World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation 🌱

On this special day, we reflect on the theme chosen by our beloved Pope Francis: “Seeds of Peace and Hope”.

As we mark the tenth anniversary of this day, which coincides with the publication of the Encyclical Laudato Si’, we are reminded of the deep connection between faith and the care for our common home. Today, we celebrate the Jubilee as “Pilgrims of Hope” a timely call to continue nurturing a world of peace, justice, and sustainability.

https://wp.me/pfYoTF-gWo “Let Creation Sing Again”: Laudato Youth Initiative’s Call for Peace Through Music in the Season of Creation. As the global Church steps into the Season of Creation (September 1 – October 4, 2025), the Laudato Youth Initiative is lifting its voice in harmony with this year’s theme: “Peace with Creation.” In a world aching with division, environmental destruction, digital divide, and spiritual neglect in some parts of the world, young people are stepping forward to lead with courage, creativity, and deep-rooted faith. Their language? Music, song, and praise. Their means is digital space, we now call them digital missionaries of hope. #SeasonofCreation #laudatoyouthinitiative @seasonofcreation

Our Season of Creation will be a beautiful time for all our Laudato Si Clubs to reflect deeply on the themes of Peace and Hope for Creation, under our year long slogan: “Sowing Seeds of Peace and Hope for Creation.”

We will sow seeds of peace by engaging in interfaith dialogue, praying for peace, and build bridges for peace! We all need to be peacemakers in our communities.

We will nurture hope for creation by living out the spiritual message of Laudato Si – “Praise be to You!” – through music and prayer, as we give thanks to God for the gift of creation and for Laudato Si, the precious legacy Pope Francis has given to the Church.

We are also continuing our One Million Tree Planting Drive, and during this Season of Creation, we warmly invite you to join us in this mission. #LYI1MTreePlantingDrive

As Pope Francis reminds us:

“Hope would have us recognize that there is always a way out, that we can always redirect our steps, that we can always do something to solve our problems.” @seasonofcreation @taprootearth

Pope Leo XIV invites the faithful to unite in pray

Pope Leo XIV invites the faithful to unite in prayer and fasting on 22 August for peace, and calls for a “disarmed and disarming peace” in all places torn by armed conflict.

Addressing the faithful gathered in the Paul VI Hall for his weekly General Audience, Pope Leo XIV turned his thoughts once more to the world’s many conflict zones. In recalling the upcoming liturgical commemoration of the Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary, which is celebrated on Friday, 22 August, the Pope invited the faithful to celebrate that day by praying and fasting for peace. #pope #prayer for #peace @borgolaudatosi

Our Laudato Youth Initiative Programs Manager recently visited Mr. Male Joseph, Founding Director of Avail Fruits of Faith Farm. This visit marks an important step in our ongoing commitment to strengthening the involvement of our Laudato Si’ Clubs in climate-smart farming and agricultural innovation.

As part of this commitment, the Youth Initiative—through strategic partnerships—is looking forward to expanding and enhancing its practical, school- and community-based programs. These efforts begin with teaching young people the value of farming and its vital role in agriculture, the backbone of our country’s economy.

We commend Avail Fruits of Faith Farm for its dedication to empowering young people and promoting sustainable agricultural practices that align with the spirit of Laudato Si’.

We are excited to share with you that the 11th edition of Laudato Voices Magazine will soon be available online. This rich edition features powerful stories of ecological conversion.

Pope Leo has consistently drawn connections between environmental degradation and broader global issues, embracing the concept of integral ecology—a theme strongly emphasized by Pope Francis in his 2015 encyclical Laudato Si’: On Care for Our Common Home. This edition highlights how the crises facing our planet—social, economic, and environmental—are deeply intertwined. The Laudato Youth Initiative is carefully walking in the footsteps of Pope Francis through our small “palms–big footprint” approach.

This edition also features our year-long theme, “Sowing Seeds of Peace and Hope for Creation,” which leads us into the Season of Creation. In our recently concluded Laudato Si’ Green Festival, we reflected on the interconnectedness of peace and the environment, recognizing that caring for creation is inseparable from the pursuit of justice and peace.

As we look to the vision of Pope Leo, we are challenged to hasten our commitment to a more sustainable and peaceful world. His leadership continues to inspire action rooted in faith, justice, and ecological responsibility.

There is so much more to discover in Laudato Voices Magazine,keep an eye out for its release!
