On behalf of Ateneo de Manila University, I thank the members of the Laudato Si’ Council for their generosity in making themselves available for this important service to the University.
As we celebrate the Season of Creation 2024 these days, let us entrust the members and the work of the Laudato Si’ Council to our Lord. May the Creator of all that exists grant them the wisdom to guide our community in strengthening our commitment to ecological justice, caring for our common home, and embracing sustainable practices.
