On Thursday, March 13th, members of the Laudato Si’ Initiative (LSI) leadership and Care and Creation Teams from across the Archdiocese of Atlanta gathered at the chancery for a day of collaboration, reflection, and planning for the year ahead. The gathering was an opportunity not only to share updates on local parish and school efforts but also to strengthen relationships and renew our collective commitment to caring for God’s creation.

Throughout the day, a spirit of fellowship and shared mission was evident as participants exchanged ideas, successes, and challenges from their communities.

On September 14, 2024, St. Thomas More Parish in Decatur, GA, hosted the Archdiocese of Atlanta’s annual Green Mass. This inspiring event brought together people of faith from across the community to celebrate our shared call to care for creation. Rooted in the teachings of Pope Francis’s Laudato Si’, the Green Mass serves as a powerful reminder of our responsibility to protect “our common home” and respond to the urgent cries of both the earth and the poor.
