Raising Hope

Conference for the Tenth Anniversary of Laudato Si'
October 1–3, 2025
We are pleased to invite you to the conference "Increasing Hope," which will be held in Castel Gandolfo from October 1st to 3rd, 2025, on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the Laudato Si' Encyclical.
This historic gathering will be presided over by His Holiness Pope Leo XIV and will feature globally renowned figures such as Minister Marina Silva and Arnold Schwarzenegger, alongside leaders from the worlds of faith, science, and politics.
Over the course of three days, the conference will provide a space for reflection and action to:
-
Recognize the progress made over the past decade.
-
Address urgent climate challenges.
-
Renew our global commitment to caring for our common home.
"In this ecological space, Pope Leo XIV, together with voices
from around the world, will take up the cry of the Earth and the cry of the poor,
just as Saint Francis of Assisi did with the Canticle of the
Creatures eight centuries ago."
— Fr. Daniel Rodríguez Blanco, OFM
