CIIC is excited to announce our June Community Forum, part of an ongoing series of webinars focused on specific issues for CIIC community members to engage in open dialogue, exchange resources, and identify opportunities for mutual learning and collaboration.

This year marks the seventh anniversary of Laudato Si’, Pope Francis’ landmark encyclical on care for creation. Pope Francis opened up the conversation about caring for creation being a moral issue and established a helpful framework for understanding Catholic social teaching in the context of today’s ecological crisis and climate emergency. This webinar will showcase how Catholic organizations have incorporated Laudato Si’ into their impact investing work and will share resources for those interested in starting their own impact investing journeys centered around the Pope’s encyclical.

Our Speakers will be:

• Elizabeth Garlow, Co-Founder, Francesco Collaborative

• John Paul Slosar, Senior Vice President, Healthcare Ethics, Ascension

• Fr. Seamus O'Neill, Bursar, St. Patrick's Missionary Society

We’ll follow up the forum by sharing a learnings report with all participants that summarizes the ideas and best practices discussed.
