What is the Laudato Si' Action Platform?
Pope Francis has invited us all to participate in the Vatican’s global Laudato Si’ Action Platform. The platform is intended to educate, inspire and activate all Catholics to embrace and act upon the teachings of Laudato Si' and to care for creation. The ultimate goal is to put our faith into action so that together we fulfill God's commandments to truly care for his creation. SJN, along with other parishes and the encouragement of the diocese, is embracing Pope Francis' Laudato Si' Seven-Year Plan. More details will be provided here as the plan is being developed. Please visit the Vatican's Laudato Si' Action Platform and the Catholic Climate Covenant's We're all part of God's plan(et) | (godsplanet.us) web site for additional information. |
Saint John Neumann is a Laudato Si' Parish!
SJN completed the three phases of the Laudato Si' Action Platform:
(1) Enrolling where SJN commits to creating our own Laudato Si’ Plan, specified in the Parish Pastoral Planet;
(2) Reflecting on how the Laudato Si’ Goals connect with core values of loving kindness, responsible stewardship of our place in creation, and care for the most vulnerable. The Reflection Document can be found HERE;
(3) Developing a concrete action plan that outlines our shared journey to sustainability in the holistic spirit of integral ecology. The SJN Action Plan for Year 1 can be found HERE. The Plan was developed by CCH with involvement from Parish staff. We presented the Plan to the Pastoral Council, See presentation HERE.
You can join the global movement by becoming a Laudato Si' Family/Household.
People on the Laudato Si’ journey are willing to transform their hearts and lifestyles to develop right relationships with God, humanity and creation. Contact our ministry for more information and guidance. [email protected]

FEBRUARY 2024 UPDATE: See here for our Year 2 of the Action Plan which was submitted to the Vatican in February 2024.
See here for our Year 1 Action Plan which covers our 2023 activities.
We welcome your participation:
There are 54 action items in our Year 2 Plan and we welcome your involvement. This is a great chance to be as involved as you would like with any of our initiatives for the coming year. Many can be done virtually. We welcome all to sign up as "interested to assist" for as many as you would like. Don't worry, you won't be in charge (unless you want to be!). We will progress better when more people are part of the process. Please email us with the row numbers from This Document that would you like to be involved with. We will contact you when we are ready to start that task. [email protected]
