Enterprising alternative-energy program launches in Santa Paula, California inspired by Pope Francis’ ‘Laudato Si’
Eight years after Pope Francis published his encyclical, Laudato Si, warning about the threats of climate change, the Holy Father has issued a new document on the environment, Laudate Deum. This week on Register Radio, we talk with Register contributor Father Raymond De Souza about Francis’ vision for ecology.

Pope Francis established the day of prayer in 2015. It is commemorated Sept. 1. It begins a month-long “Season of Creation” that ends on Oct. 4, the feast of St. Francis of Assisi.
