At the Mariapolis Center in Castel Gandolfo, Pope Leo XIV addressed the Raising Hope Conference, commemorating the tenth anniversary of Pope Francis’ encyclical Laudato Si’.

From October 1–3, marking the 10th anniversary of Laudato Si’, the landmark encyclical on care for our Common Home, the Raising Hope Conference will bring together spiritual leaders, scientists, activists, and indigenous representatives in Rome for three days of dialogue, discernment, and action in response to the ecological crisis.
