Our Commitment to the Laudato Si’ Goals

As a Congregation, we have made a public commitment to take specific, measurable transformative actions in the spirit of integral ecology to rebuild our common home in order to leave a future to the next generations. We made this commitment in faith, hope, and love knowing that we are participating in God’s transformation work, “for we know that things can change”. (LS 13) This challenging journey of hope for the Earth and the poor urges us to prophetically respond to the cries of the Earth and of the Poor. The climate crises call us to further our ongoing ecological conversion, practice nonviolence, and sow hope of peace and justice in the spirit of our charism as we deepen the integration of the Laudato Si’ goals into our lives and ministries.

Watch for images and stories of our seven-year journey.

Living the Laudato Si’ Goals

Eco-spirituality

In May 2021, UISG marked Laudato Si’ Week by a web-based session on eco-spirituality.  In this session,  men and women religious engaged in promoting Laudato Si’ shared stories of ecological conversion, both personal and communal, with examples of integrating conscious prayer and sacred action. Sister Leetta Hammock SSND was one of the presenters. We encourage you to view the whole presentation. However you can skip directly to Sister Leetta’s presentation by clicking here.
