What is Serata Laudato Si’?
The “Serata” (Evening) Laudato si’ is a cultural event that promotes the message of the encyclical Laudato si’, on the care of the common home, written by Pope Francis. Our goal is to create awareness, through art, culture, music, about the climate crisis that we are experiencing and promote a space of integral ecological conversion in favor of future generations.
“Even living on little, they can live a lot, above all when they cultivate other pleasures and find satisfaction in fraternal encounters, in service, in developing their gifts, in music and art, in contact with nature, in prayer. Happiness means knowing how to limit some needs which only diminish us and being open to the many different possibilities which life can offer”. (LS 223)
We hope that Serata Laudato si’ will help us to promote the encyclical on the care of our common home, to sensitize the men and women of our time about the urgency of giving an immediate response to the climate crisis. We need to bring an urgent change in our lifestyle and need an integral ecological conversion. #LaudatoSiRevolution
