We will view the movie, “The Letter”, which tells the story about the Pope’s call to care for our planet. In 2015, Pope Francis wrote Laudato Si’; an encyclical letter about the environmental crisis to every single person in the world. A few years later, four voices that have gone unheard in global conversations have been invited to an unprecedented dialogue with the Pope. Hailing from Senegal, the Amazon, India, and Hawai’i, they bring perspective and solutions from the poor, the indigenous, the youth, and wildlife into a conversation with Pope Francis himself. This documentary follows their journey to Rome and the extraordinary experiences that took place there, and is packed with powerfully moving personal stories alongside the latest information about the planetary crisis and the toll it’s taking on nature and people. The time listed is 5 pm CST. We will watch the nearly 2-hour movie and have a bit of discussion following the viewing.
