THE LETTER SCREENING
In support of the activities organised by Westminster Justice & Peace for climate action in the Diocese, St Hugh of Lincoln Parish in Letchworth is holding a screening of the movie THE LETTER on Sunday 23rd April at 3pm. THE LETTER is a documentary film by Emmy-winning director Nicolas Brown, released in October 2022 by the Laudato Si’ Movement. The title refers to Pope Francis’ encyclical letter Laudato Si’: On Care for Our Common Home, written in 2015 and addressed to ‘every person living on this planet’. In the film, Pope Francis himself describes how the encyclical came about, and we hear something of the reaction that followed its publication. The film’s protagonists represent four voices from the world’s peripheries, deeply impacted by climate change: we see a letter going to each of them, containing an invitation to a personal dialogue with Pope Francis.
Following the movie, refreshments will be available. All are welcome. The event is free of charge. Donations can be made on the day to CAFOD to support their work combatting Climate Change and its effects on the most vulnerable communities.
