BRUNSWICK

All Saints Parish will host “On Care for Our Common Home,” a special multi-week series in which participants will read and discuss Pope Francis’ encyclical, “Laudato Si’.”

All are encouraged to attend, including those from other denominations and people with no faith traditions.

Participants will learn about Francis’ appeal to address the needs of the earth and its people, discuss our culture and systems, and be inspired by hopeful ideas that can help care for creation.

In “Laudato Si’,” Francis calls all people to respect their place in the universe and to understand nature as created by God, so that all people can live in peace with one another and with respect for the resources of our earth.

Francis calls people to live with a consciousness not only of the need to care for the earth, but also for the true human dignity of the person and particularly of those who are poor.

The series will take place in two locations on Sundays and Mondays:

• St. Charles Borromeo Church (132 McKeen St.) — from 3:30-4:45 p.m. on four Sundays, Feb. 18, Feb. 25, March 4 and March 11

• Curtis Memorial Library (23 Pleasant St.) — from 6:30-7:45 p.m. on four Mondays, Feb. 19, Feb. 26, March 5 and March 12

Those interested in attending are asked to register by Wednesday, Feb. 7, by calling (207) 725-2624 or visiting the “Common Home Registration” section on the All Saints Parish website at allsaintsmaine.com.
