Embracing God’s Creation is an ongoing initiative that includes presentations, immersions, and prayer experiences focused on the ecological spirituality of Laudato Si’ co-sponsored by the Cincinnati Jesuit Works.
You can read Pope Francis 2015 encyclical, Laudato Si’: On Care for our Common Home here and his 2023 apostolic exhortation, Laudate Deum here.
