The Season of Creation is upon us and the Office of Justice and Peace Ministries is pleased to announce the launch of two advances in our Laudato Si’ Initiative.
We are excited to invite you to a dialogue between Bishop Joel Konzen, S.M., and young people on the Pope’s Apostolic Exhortation Laudate Deum set for 4 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 12, at St. Thomas More Catholic Church, 636 W Ponce de Leon Ave, Decatur, GA 30030. This event is a collaboration between the Aquinas Center at Candler School of Theology at Emory University and the Archdiocese of Atlanta. Dr. Greg Hillis, executive director of the Aquinas Center, will be our MC.
Please help us promote this event in your parishes.
Sample announcement:
Dialogue on Laudate Deum. Join us for a dialogue between Bishop Joel Konzen, S.M., and young people on the Pope’s Apostolic Exhortation Laudate Deum. Thursday, Oct. 12, at 4 p.m., at St. Thomas More Catholic Church, 636 W Ponce de Leon Ave, Decatur, GA 30030. Care for the environment is a moral issue – we have an obligation to leave our children a safe and healthy world. It is also a theological issue – Pope Francis’ exhortation is called “Praise God” (Laudate Deum) because we praise the Creator by protecting His creation. Come participate in this dialogue, facilitated by Dr. Greg Hillis, executive director of the Aquinas Center at Candler School of Theology at Emory University. This event will be livestreamed at https://www.stmgaparish.org/livestream.

Guests appearing in each episode include environmental experts and influential members of different faith traditions who will provide information on how we can better care for our common home. We look forward to meeting you at the corner of faith and sustainability! Find it wherever you get your favorite podcast or on our website.
