Ecospirituality Nights
In Laudato Si’, Pope Francis famously wrote, “A commitment this lofty cannot be sustained by doctrine alone, without a spirituality capable of inspiring us.” As we enter a new year, all are welcome to join the Catholic Climate Covenant young adult community for Ecospirituality Nights, a multi-month virtual series exploring the spiritual foundations of our work for climate justice.
All events take place on Monday evenings from 7:30-8:30 p.m. Eastern Time. Each speaker will offer a keynote open to attendees of all ages, as well as a special, intimate follow-up conversation with young adults ages 18-39.
Events require separate registrations, which will be linked below as they become available. Those who register for any one event will be notified of opportunities to register for all events.
