  “The Spirituality of Creation in Laudato Si’: Everything is Connected."
   

  Jim Antal who wrote Climate Church, Climate World said “we can only change what we pay attention to.  Has climate change gotten our attention?  Has it gotten your attention?  Why?  Why not?

   

  Pope Francis published Laudato Si' in 2015, contributing much spiritual insight into the environment of the world and climate change.  He speaks of the spirituality of creation, showing how care for our lives and nature is interconnected and inseparable from justice and community.  This letter deals with the purpose of our lives and what is actually at stake --our own dignity.

   

  This workshop will be facilitated by Sister Marian Sturm, OVISS.  Sr. Marian is a Sister of the Incarnate Word and Blessed Sacrament, Victoria, TX, a spiritual director, and the publicity person for Amor Meus Spirituality Center.  She has a BA in Biology and Math and an MA in Theology and Catechetics.  She received her spiritual direction certification from The Center for Spiritual Growth and Contemplative Life, San Antonio, TX.
