With deep emotion, the Laudato si’ Higher Educational Center joins the sorrow of the universal Church at the death of Pope Francis, tireless shepherd, witness of mercy, and prophetic voice for social and environmental justice.

His pontificate was a constant call to care for our common home and to foster fraternity among peoples. With the encyclical Laudato si’, Pope Francis charted a new path toward ecological conversion, calling both believers and non-believers to a concrete and urgent commitment for the planet’s future.

In this time of mourning, we renew our commitment to safeguard and carry forward his teaching, in the hope and responsibility he entrusted to us.
