Ecological Conversion







Versión en español


 

The Pedro Arrupe Institute, following the direction set by Pope Francis in his encyclical ‘Laudato Si’, has begun a campaign of ecological conversion, so as to inform, motivate and commit us to take care of our common home.


This page is dedicated to publishing and informing on all topics related to ecology; we hope that this information will help us in our journey of conversion and in learning about the resources available to protect our environment and to help future generations inherit an earth without the environmental degradation that exists today.
