The Justice and Peace Office was proud to be involved in the planning of the speaking tour of Fr Sean McDonagh recently. Fr Sean, a Columban priest and theologian from Ireland spoke around Australia on the nexus between theology and the environment, caring for creation, and the implementation of Laudato Si’, Pope Francis’ latest encyclical.
