The Josephite Laudato Si’ Action Plan team presents its fourth Conversation Package.

Titled Wellbeing Economy for a Flourishing People and Planet, 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.

The Wellbeing Economy conversation package centres on Pope Francis’ call for a rethink and reset in how society prioritises and manages the needs of all people and the planet. The package defers to biblical notions of flourishing and to the wisdom of Catholic Social Teaching. 

The lead author, Sister Adrienne Gallie rsj, points to the rising of many global voices calling for change and offering alternative models of economy. Sr Adrienne has attended international conferences and ministers in wellbeing economy.

Wellbeing Economy, the fourth 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.
