The fifth anniversary of Laudato Sì, in the context of COVID-19 brings to us the key message that ecological conversion has to take place now.
Caritas Internationalis is highly concerned by the major humanitarian crisis to which the post-pandemic is heading and urges the international community to take courageous and immediate action.
Caritas believes that no one should be left behind and our national organisations in affected countries are ramping up efforts to raise awareness and provide assstance to those in need.
This year the 50th anniversary of Earth Day is marked by two major events, the global human tragedy created by the coronavirus infection and the fifth anniversary of Laudato Sì.
Aid must be ensured for everyone, particularly in developing countries, where the pandemic may lead to even more catastrophic consequences.
Caritas will coordinate with the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development (DPIHD) the first working group of the Commission dedicated to COVID-19 response created by Pope Francis
At this point in history, this turning point which is throwing our lives and societies into chaos, can each of us have the honesty and courage to say “I alone do not have the answer”?
Action, awareness and advocacy, without forgetting prayer. These are the guidelines of the work of Caritas, today at the forefront worldwide to respond to COVID-19 pandemic.
During Lenten 2020, Pope Francis invites us all to “shake ourselves out of our torpor”. He invites us to hear “the cry of the poor and of the earth"
