ecological conversion

In his 2025 Lenten-Easter Pastoral Letter titled “Ecological Conversion: Caring for Creation, Bringing Hope,” Bishop Maksimus Regus of the Diocese of Labuan Bajo called on the faithful to embrace ecological responsibility as a vital expression of Christian discipleship.

Amid the solemn journey of Lent, Bishop Maksimus Regus of Labuan Bajo brought a message of hope and renewal to detainees at the West Manggarai Police Headquarters, leading the Way of the Cross in a moving act of compassion and pastoral care.

The CBCP has decided to distance itself from organizations involved in ecologically destructive efforts.

Water is a finite resource that holds immense value and must be safeguarded and shared, said Bishop Theodore Mascarenhas.

"The role of the teacher in the classroom is not limited to instructing but also includes motivating, guiding, and serving as an exemplary Christian role model for the students," Father Nala said, adding, "This does not only stop at school but also in life in society."

Pope Francis stressed interreligious dialogue as a way to cultivate ecological responsibility when he met with a group of Cambodian Buddhists on January 19.
