Brothers and Sisters All by Sr. Kathryn King, FSP
Pope Francis launched his new agenda for a post-pandemic world on October 3rd, with the release of a new encyclical on human fraternity. He signed “Fratelli Tutti,” his third encyclical, at the tomb of St Francis of Assisi, just prior to today’s Feast of St. Francis, October 4th. This new encyclical advances the previous one, “Laudato Si,” which celebrates its fifth anniversary. “Laudato Si” begins with the words “Praise be to You, my Lord, with all your creatures, especially Sir Brother Sun…" from the Canticle of Creation, a poem written in the Umbrian dialect of Italian in 1224, by St. Francis of Assisi. This poem-prayer summarizes the core spiritual and theological vision of the saint.

Do you have a friend, family member, or a loved one who is considering becoming Catholic? We want you to know about a program at the parish.
During this program, interested individuals have the opportunity to inquire into the Catholic faith, to come to know Jesus through the Gospels, to pray, and to prepare for the Easter Sacraments. This process is also open to Catholic adults who have not received the Sacraments of First Communion or Confirmation.
For more information about this process, which is called the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA), call M. Fullam at 212-288-3588 or email church@saintignatiusloyola.org.
