One Planet, One Humanity: A Better Future Is In Our Hands
You are warmly invited to host a viewing of the documentary, “The Letter,” a message of hope to enlighten our New Year.
“The Letter” inspires change through the beautiful human relationships among those who are responding to Pope Francis’ invitation. They come from people whose voices are often unheard. These people have different religious and cultural backgrounds.
“The Letter” documents the recent journey to Rome by community leaders from different places to discuss Pope Francis’ encyclical. We learn about the warm relationships with each other and the Pope that give the travelers hope and benefit their communities. In “The Letter” we hear the voices of the Indigenous, the young, the poor, and wildlife.
The film was produced by Oscar-winning Off The Fence Productions and directed by Nicolas Brown, in partnership with the Laudato Si’ Movement The film was an instant success amassing over 7 million views in its first two weeks.
A Viewing at El Paso Catholic Parish
Participants from St Luke Parish
On Dec. 4, 2022, St Luke Catholic Parish in El Paso, TX, became the first in El Paso’s diocese to hold a screening of the movie.
Here is some feedback from participants:
“Thank you for continuing to engage parishes and others in matters that involve care of God’s blessed Mother Earth.”
“Thank you so much for bringing us this compelling movie to us. The movie has lit a fire in me, and I plan to try to organize a group dedicated to exploring actions we can take as a parish as well as individually to address our climate crisis. I hope we can do something, however small it may be, to contribute towards reversing this horror.”
Another parish, Blessed Sacrament Church in El Paso will convene this event on Saturday 15th January at 6:15 PM. All are welcome!
Join the worldwide community who care for our Common Home. If you would like to host a viewing of the documentary and would like some guidance, please send me a note to odile@nm-ipl.org
