This quarterly publication shares the progress made over the past few months in living out our call to care for creation. It highlights practical steps taken by Jesuit communities across Britain, while also offering resources and initiatives that inspire hope and action towards a more just, sustainable, and faith-filled future.
St Beuno’s Spirituality Centre, Donhead Preparatory School, and Campion Hall The Hall are all taking practical steps towards sustainability: solar power and energy efficiency upgrades are underway, vegetarian menus are growing at St Beuno’s, Donhead has cut electricity costs by 40% and saved nearly 15 tonnes of CO₂, and The Hall is preparing for insulation improvements and Oxford’s long-term Heat Exchange Network.
We are deepening our commitment to climate justice as COP30 approaches in Belem, Brazil. Jesuit Missions is supporting Jesuit engagement at COP30, supporting colleagues from Centre Arrupe Madagascar, collaborating with schools through the Letters to the Planet initiative, and encouraging people of faith to advocate for climate justice and sustainable solutions.
Pope Leo XIV inaugurated the Borgo Laudato Si’, describing it as a “living laboratory” of faith and sustainability. The Borgo is already hosting pilot projects and ecological initiatives, demonstrating how spirituality, daily life, and technology can coexist in harmony and serve as a seed for justice and peace.
This edition also offers resources to support deeper engagement with integral ecology, including a forthcoming document on Catholic responses to mining from the Laudato Si' Research Insitute, a new book responding to Pope Francis’ Laudate Deum, and reflections for the 2025 Season of Creation from Jesuit Missions and the wider Christian community.

Integral Ecology recognises the interconnectedness of social, environmental, and spiritual well-being. It invites us to care for creation while fostering justice, community, and personal transformation, reflecting the holistic vision of sustainability championed by Pope Francis in his encyclical, Laudato Si'.
