The Office of Faith Formation of the Diocese of Providence, in Rhode Island, USA, organized several events as part of the Diocese’s Care for Creation series, in October 2019. Under the leadership of Bishop Thomas J. Tobin, the forums invited participants to develop authentic Catholic responses to some of the ecological questions of the day. CYNESA Executive Director, Allen Ottaro, was honored to be invited to speak at the events, a wonderful opportunity to share about the work that CYNESA has been doing during the last 5 years, and how the encyclical letter Laudato Si’, has inspired young Catholics in Africa to care for our common home.
