This session will focus on Catholic Social Teaching and our call to care for God’s creation, through the lens of Pope Francis’ encyclical, Laudato Si’. I will give an overview of Laudato Si’ and why Catholics care for creation. Then I will share about my work as the Program Manager of Youth Mobilization with the Catholic Climate Covenant and share stories from youth around the country who have taken leadership on creation care in their schools.
Kayla Jacobs serves as the program manager of Youth Mobilization for the Catholic Climate Covenant. She has 9 years of experience in the diocesan social ministry field, including 3 years as the Director of Programs for the first diocesan Laudato Si’ Ministry in the United States. Her favorite line from Laudato Si’, Pope Francis’ encyclical on caring for creation, is: “Soil, water, mountains: everything is, as it were, a caress of God.”
