Laudato Si' Week 2022: Journeying Together - Questions of how to care for creation can pull us in many different directions. You are invited to a prayerful walk along the Wissahickon. This one evening, we’ll take a short journey together to pray for and with Philadelphia’s ecology. It may give us a chance to do what St. Francis de Sales urges: examine “the affections of our souls.”
