Around Laudate Deum, the French Mouvement des retraités(MCR) is committed
Pope Francis' encyclical "Laudato Si" and its extension "Laudate Deum" resonate as urgent calls to action to preserve our planet and promote integral ecology. Since 2019, the Christian Retirees Movement has been committed, in teams and often based on simple, even daily, initiatives and actions, in four directions that it has deemed priorities.
The MCR is launching an extraordinary challenge, through its 15,500 members and approximately 1,800 teams: to arrive at 500 shared projects by the end of 2025 to take care of people and the Earth.
Whether your project is small or large... don't hesitate, get started!
The Second Session of the XVI General Assembly of the Synod (October 2-27, 2024) opened on the morning of October 2, in St. Peter's Square, during the Eucharistic celebration presided over by Pope Francis, the fathers and mothers of the Synod joined the thousands of faithful pilgrims who came from all over the world for the opening of the second session of the Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod. In his homily, Pope Francis asked: "Let us set out with our eyes turned toward the world, because the Christian community is always at the service of humanity, to proclaim to all the joy of the Gospel".
