New Resource: Creating a Climate for Solidarity 35th Anniversary of St. Francis Named as the Patron Saint of Those Who Promote Ecology

October 2014 marks the 35^th anniversary of St. Francis named as the Patron Saint of those who promote ecology by St. John Paul II. Pope Francis, equally inspired by St. Francis, highlighted early in his pontificate how the poor are disproportionately and unjustly harmed by environmental degradation, including climate change.

From St. Francis to Pope Francis to You! Creating a Climate for Solidarity is a 90 minute multimedia presentation combining short video testimonials with group reflection processes that highlight the impacts of climate change on the world’s poorest and most vulnerable people and communities. Each program will be offered in Parish, College, and Youth versions and in both English and Spanish.
