In this issue of New Frontiers, we highlight the special anniversary year of Laudato Si’. We also include a reflection on our relationship with the fragile ecologies of the planet, and an update on our engagement with the International Volunteers Programme.

June 20 is World Refugee Day.

The Society of the Sacred Heart, along with 53 other faith-based organizations, signed a statement in support of refugees.

Laudato Si’ Week, which begins today 16th May, honors the fifth anniversary of Pope Francis’ encyclical on care for our common home. The theme of the week is “Everything is connected.”

The Society of the Sacred Heart is an active member of JCoR, the Justice Coalition of Religious. It is a collaborative endeavour of 19 Roman Catholic religious organizations.

April 22 is Earth Day; and this year's theme is climate action.

At this time of the Covid-19 global pandemic, the JPIC International Team offers the Sacred Heart Family this prayer-and-reflection guide for Easter Triduum 2020.
