Laudato Sí
May 24, 2025 will mark the 10th anniversary of Laudato Sí, Pope Francis’ encyclical on the care for creation. Stay tuned to this page for updates from Ignatian Young Adult Ministries about special programs and offerings to mark the occasion. (Or sign up for our emails.)
In the meantime, take this opportunity to look back at some of our previous programs around the care for our common home and ecospirituality…
Care for Creaton, It’s Very Ignatian
Br. Mark Mackey, SJ, joined Jesuit Connections on April 27, 2022 for an online discussion on ecospirituality!
Together we explored how Ignatian Spirituality and the Jesuit tradition can be enhanced through an ecological lens and how Ignatian Spirituality can add to the ecological movement. Br. Mark also shared how Care for Creation can be lived out in an Ignatian community context and explained how his own ecological conversion deepened his faith and informed his vocation.
Finding God in Nature: An Outdoor Audio Retreat
In collaboration with BustedHalo.com, Ignatian Young Adult Ministries presented this audio retreat in the fall of 2020, intended to be experienced while spending time outdoors. Join us for this 20-minute audio retreat experience leading you outdoors to find and encounter God in nature.
Click the above link to listen to and experience the retreat.
The retreat can be done on your own schedule. Take a walk, go for a hike, or find a quiet bench to spend 20 minute praying with the audio reflection. Then gather with others for a conversation and sharing the graces.
This retreat is a collaboration with Busted Halo, creators of the original content, and narrated by Kate André, CLA Cohort Coordinator, Boston.
