On the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the pu

On the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the publication of Pope Francis’ Encyclical Laudato Si’ (2015), on Saturday, May 24, our Laudato Youth Mentor Br. Adolf joined a group of people interested in caring for our Common Home who gathered at the San Giuseppe Allamano Auditorium of the Consolata Missions Institute (IMC) in Rome to attend “The Letter”, a message for the Earth.
The documentary film tells the story of four environmental activists from different countries who traveled to the Vatican to talk with Pope Francis about the Encyclical “Laudato Si’ ”. Among them are an indigenous person from the Amazon (Brazil), a climate refugee from Senegal, a young Indian activist and two American biologists. The meeting highlights the importance of dialogue and collective participation in addressing the socio-environmental crisis, drawing inspiration from the message of “Laudato Si’” which is a reference for numerous initiatives in favor of nature and an inspiration for political and social projects. Held during Laudato Si’ Week (May 24-31), the event was organized and coordinated by writer, journalist and Brazilian scholar Antonella Rita Roscilli and IMC Communications Director Father Jaime C. Patias.

Laudato Youth – Praising the Lord,
https://youtu.be/Z0b-a_t-dFU?si=2Tduo7khxy0ygBY3 “He who sings prays twice.” – St. Augustine
In a world brimming with noise, music rooted in faith becomes a powerful harmony of hope. For young people, singing is not just melody—it is mission. As Pope Francis reminds us in Laudato Si’, creation is a precious gift entrusted to us. Through music, we echo the song of creation, celebrating the beauty of the earth and the Creator who shaped it.
When we raise our voices in praise, we don’t just sing—we pray. We awaken hearts, we inspire change, and we build communion. As Laudato Youth, we are called to be both guardians and heralds of this gift, proclaiming through music the joy, the urgency, and the wonder of caring for our common home as we celebrate 10 years anniversary of Laudato Si.
Let your voice be your witness. Let your song be your service. Let your music be your mission. Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development #LaudatoYouth #laudatoSi10

ONE MONTH HAS PASSED BUT YOU ARE STILL IN OUR HEARTS, POPE FRANCIS! Laudato Si’ Action Platform Laudato Youth Initiative
As we mark one month since the passing of Pope Francis, we honor his dedication empowering green initiatives, and unwavering love for a Church that cares for the environment and the poor. May eternal rest be granted to Pope Francis, O Lord, and may perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen.

We extend our heartfelt appreciation to Archbishop

We extend our heartfelt appreciation to Archbishop Luigi Bianco, the Apostolic Nuncio to Uganda, who has been reassigned by Pope Leo XIV to serve as the Holy See’s representative in Slovenia and Kosovo.
We are especially grateful for the inspiration he brought to the Laudato Youth Initiative, encouraging our commitment to ecological justice and care for our common home. His presence among us was a reminder of Christ’s love, and his words continue to guide our mission.
As he embarks on this new chapter of service, we pray that God may bless him abundantly and continue to use him as a messenger of peace and hope in the global Church.

Community + Conversation = Change & renewal
After Mass, youth and patrons met to share ideas, ask questions, and plan the way forward for environmental action. Together, we align with Uganda’s call for environmental protection and the Church’s mission to safeguard creation.
100 Trees for Kanyabachope! Our appreciation goes to Mr. Rusahura Daniel our Laudato Si co-ordinator Fort Portal diocese and the entire diocesan youth office, who donated 100 trees to our members! This act of hope reflects Pope Francis’ call to plant seeds of hope for future generations. “Young people demand change…” – Pope he said. This challenge us to work for the change we want to see!

Crowning Our Week-Long #LaudatoSi10 Anniversary! This past week was unforgettable as the Laudato Youth Initiative celebrated 10 years of #LaudatoSi with faith, action, renewal and community engagement! We ended the week today at St. Adolf Holy Cross Parish, Kanyabachope with an inspiring Mass under the Trees of Reconciliation.
Mass Under the Trees – A Sacred Moment
We prayed, sang, and celebrated the Eucharist in nature—what better way to honor 10 years of caring for God’s creation? Fr. Ronnie Kawooya CSC reminded us: We are Pilgrims of Green Hope!
Let’s walk gently on this earth, carrying God’s message of hope.
“The entire material universe speaks of God’s love…everything is a caress of God.” – Pope Francis Laudato Si', authored by Pope Francis, is the first papal encyclical to focus on care for creation as a central moral obligation. This groundbreaking letter brings together the call to protect the environment and to defend the “least of these” through an integral ecology that challenges all of us to action.
