About this Event
About the Meeting
Our guest speaker this month is Dr Emma Gardner, Head of Environment for the Diocese of Salford who will talk about the Laudato Si' Centre initiative in Manchester, which she also manages.
Emma joins the Diocese of Salford from the University of Manchester, where she held the position of Head of Environmental Sustainability for over eight years.
Prior to the University, Emma was a Regional Director with the international consultancy AECOM, working on national and international sustainability projects.
She works closely with Bishop John Arnold, Bishop of Salford, who is Environment spokesman for the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales.
About Us
We meet monthly online on the second Monday of the month and also organise occasional other events online and in-person for mutual support and encouragement. Every meeting includes input on some aspect of the climate or environment and a sharing of best practice in resources and events.
Some events take place jointly with the Northern Dioceses Environment Group and guests from elsewhere are always welcome, as we all work together to animate the Catholic community in the long-term task of stabilising our climate and protecting our common home.
We are inspired by the principles of Catholic Social Teaching set out by Pope Francis in the encyclical Laudato Si’ and the teachings on care for the earth and one another found in the Scriptures.
Participants include CAFOD and Diocesan staff and volunteers, Laudato Si' Animators, clergy, parishioners, religious and activists. You are welcome to attend as a one-off or to participate regularly.
