Final preparations for the 4th Conference on Care for Creation
Preparations for the 4th International Conference on Care for Creation have now entered their final phase. The President of the John Paul II Foundation, Daniele Bruno, was with the Local Organising Committee of WYD Lisbon2023 today, 30 June, to present the Conference that will be held on 31 July at the Catholic University of Portugal in Lisbon.
In an informal moment, the president explained to some COL volunteers that the main objective is for “young people to reflect on their lifestyle and understand how they can change it to take care of the Common Home”.
The president of the John Paul II Youth Foundation recently visited the headquarters of the Local Organising Committee (Col) of World Youth Day (WYD) Lisbon 2023. The purpose of the visit was the preparation of the Fourth International Conference on the Care of Creation, which the Foundation is organising in collaboration with the WYD. The conference will take place at the Catholic University of Portugal, in Lisbon, on 31 July, the day before the start of WYD.
The conference will be a moment of dialogue on the care of our Common Home, with a reflection on the Encyclical ‘Laudato Si’ by Pope Francis”. At the same time, “it will be an opportunity to reflect on the lifestyles currently adopted and to seek new ones that are able to meet the cultural, spiritual and educational challenges of the present and future generations, inspiring concrete and lasting actions in favour of environmental protection”.
