CEIE Earth Care
From Earth Day (April 22) to the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi (October 4), we reflect on our shared responsibility to care for our common home. At CEIE, this commitment is rooted in Pope Francis' encyclical Laudato Si’, which guides millions of people in caring for creation. We collaborate with ecumenical and interreligious wisdom traditions to create resources for communities in classrooms.

University Resources: Laudato Si'
In response to Pope Francis’s invitation to higher education institutions, SU President Peñalver signed a letter of commitment in September 2021 to participate in the 'Seven-Year Journey Towards Integral Ecology' and the Laudato Si’ Action Platform (LSAP). Seattle University's Laudato Si’ Action Plan includes four main priorities that span across campus operations, departments, and partnerships.
