Determined to counter climate emergency, the Catholic Church on Wednesday, March 3, launched the National Laudato Si Program to save and protect our common home.
The virtual launching was led by Bishop Jose Colin M. Bagaforo, chairman of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Phiippines National Secretariat for Social Action, Justice and Peace.
“Indeed, we have come a long way since we introduced Laudato Si in the Philippine Church in 2017 two years after the monumental encyclical of Pope Francis,” he said.
“The coming together of the CBCP, through the inter CBCP Commission working group with the Global Catholic Climate Movement – Pilipinas is a signal that we are not taking the urgent challenges of climate change sitting down,” added Bagaforo.
