Welcome

On behalf of the Organizing and Scientific Committee, we warmly welcome you to the conference Laudato Si’ – Towards Climate and Social Justice.

The conference theme, Laudato Si’ – Towards Climate and Social Justice, has been carefully chosen to mark interest in—and concern for— care for our common home according to the Pope Francis’s vision.

Six years after the publication of Laudato Si’, Pope Francis’ encyclical letter on the care for our common home, the prophetic words from the encyclical letter continue to ring in our ears: “What kind of world do we want to leave to those who come after us…“(LS, 160).

To commemorate the six year anniversary of Laudato Si’ and the closing of the „CRO Laudato Si’ “project, the Catholic University of Croatia, National Fraternity of the Secular Franciscan Order (SFO), Ministry of Economy and Sustainable Development, Croatia, Center for the Promoting Social Doctrine of the Church and Franciscan Institute for the Culture of Peace are organize a two day conference at the Catholic University of Croatia between 4th and 5th June 2021.

At the end of the conference, we hope to come up with some concrete lines of action for the care of our common home and to empower others around us to grow in our Christian faith, seek justice for the poor and protect our common home.

We would like to thank all of the sponsoring organizations for providing their generous support.

Lastly, we would like to thank all of the conference participants for their contributions which are the foundation of this conference.

Yours sincerely,

Ass. Prof. Zoran Turza, PhD,
Organizing Committee Chairperson
