Laudato Si’ Training Course

 

Laudato Si’ Training Course – Hosted by St Bonaventure’s Parish

St Bonaventure’s Parish is delighted to host an in-person Laudato Si’ Training Course, inviting parishioners and members of the wider community to deepen their understanding of caring for creation and to explore how faith can inspire environmental action. This training is based on the teachings of Pope Francis in his encyclical Laudato Si’, which calls us to care for our common home and respond to the environmental and social challenges of our time. 
 

During the Training you will:

  • Explore the key themes of Laudato Si’
  • Reflect on the relationship between faith, justice, and ecology
  • Learn about Catholic social teaching on the environment
  • Discover practical ways to promote sustainability in parish life
  • Connect with others passionate about caring for creation
  • Qualify to become a Laudato Si Animator

 

The training is interactive and reflective, including presentations, discussion, prayer, and practical planning.
