The Josephite Laudato Si’ Action Plan team presents its third Conversation Package.
Titled Climate Casualties, this community and educational resource has been developed by the Sisters of Saint Joseph of the Sacred Heart in collaboration with the Sisters of St Joseph Lochinvar to spark discussion, inform, and inspire people of hope.
Climate Casualties refers to all those who are innocent victims of the effects of climate change. Those people, plants, animals and other life forms who are killed, injured and displaced by climate events. Human climate casualties are frequently subjected to policy changes made by insurance companies and international governments.
This Josephite Climate Casualties Conversation Package focuses on rising levels of the sea, microplastics and forever chemicals. Sisters Luisa and Mary are the Josephite face of climate casualties and would welcome your support in their ministries (see pages 5 and 7).
Climate Casualties links Pope Francis’ calls for deep and lasting personal change, meaningful systemic change and the year of hope. Perhaps you will use this resource as part of your Lenten journey – some materials will engage you for a little as two minutes or for several hours.
Climate Casualties, the third Conversation Package in a five-part URGENT HOPE series, is an invitation to transform our lives, our goals, our relationships and our faith. Use the questions and Pope Francis’ quotes from Laudate Deum to spark discussion, share countering views and form ways to move forward.
Explore-Embrace-Embody Laudato Si’ Action Plan for the Josephite Community is a Josephite Action Plan for the next seven years and reflects the body of Catholic Social Teaching presented in Pope Francis’ 2015 encyclical, Laudato Si’.
The Action Plan embraces all Josephite women and men associated with the Congregations and includes Sisters, affiliates, Boards, staff, companions and those involved in Josephite ministries. The Action Plan was reviewed and refreshed in May 2024 with updated goals and actions. View the launch video above.
