In this Season of Creation (1 September – 4 October 2024), the Sisters of Saint Joseph of the Sacred Heart, in collaboration with the Sisters of St Joseph Lochinvar, are pleased to launch their newest community resource supporting Laudato Si’ and Laudate Deum entitled URGENT HOPE.
URGENT HOPE is the first in a five-part series of Conversation Packages drawn from Laudate Deum, Pope Francis’ document on the climate crisis. The Conversation Package provides prompts for discussion and reflection with a focus on the urgency of the climate crisis and the Christian virtue of hope.
The URGENT HOPE series of Conversation Packages adds to the rich resources available in this Season of Creation and will extend into 2025.

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.
