Pope Francis is encouraging participation in the campaign.
“Inspired by Laudato si’ and Fratelli tutti, our campaign aims at bringing people together to carry out new actions and initiatives, especially at the grassroots level, which combats poverty, restore dignity to the excluded and protect nature, in the spirit of integral ecology,” the federation said in a statement.
As Caritas, we realise that we are in close interdependence with all of Creation; what happens in one part of our world has an impact on the rest of the planet and on the poorest peoples of our human family.
Our new campaign is our way to play our own part in caring for our Common Home and for the poor today to make our Common Home a better, healthier place to live for present and future generations.
