Caring for our Common Home, in This World and with This Climate
Date of Event
3-9-2023
Description
Cardinal Michael Czerny, Pope Francis’ choice to lead the Catholic Church’s efforts to address the climate crisis and become a better caretaker of the planet, will travel from Rome to speak on “caring for our common home.” With climate-related disasters happening throughout the world, and disproportionately affecting the globe’s most vulnerable, Pope Francis introduced the idea of an “ecological conversion” for humanity to protect the Earth in his 2015 encyclical Laudato Si’: On Care for Our Common Home. Czerny, who graduated from Gonzaga in 1968, oversees the Catholic Church’s efforts to assure humanity’s ability to live in dignity. His work involves not only the science of climate change, but migration patterns, social services, global economics and more.
