The recent Amazonian Synod will be seen as one of the defining events of the Francis Papacy – not least because it brought together his concerns about ecology and about global social injustice in Laudato Si.

Next Saturday, at 9.30, our Cardinal Hollerich and Cardinal Barreto from Peru will lead a conference (in English) about this Synod at the Jean XXIII Centre. Download full details here.

Straight after the conference we’ll have a meeting of anyone interested in our own tree-planting initiative as a way of making a small practical contribution against climate change. Contact Steve McCarthy.
