Pope Francis, Ecology & the Eucharist: A Franciscan Liturgical Vision of Caring for Our Common Home

Professor Chris O’Brien, PhD

A program presented in partnership with Franciscan School of Theology
Reflecting on his papacy, this presentation explores Pope Francis’s concern for ecology and

the environment in relation to the church’s liturgy and sacraments, especially the Eucharist. Drawing from Laudato Si’ and Desiderio Desideravi, the presentation demonstrates that how Christians pray liturgically, especially at the Eucharist, should inform Christian ethics, including our care for our common home.

Program will be presented in the Auditorium in the Administration Building.
