Laudato Si' Conference

Sustainability Initiatives at the Archdiocese of Cincinnati

Xavier representatives, including Xavier's University Sustainability Officer, actively participate in several sustainability-focused committees within the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, including:

  • Laudato Si Action Platform Implementation Committee
  • Care for Creation Task Force
  • Cincinnati Catholic Higher Education Cohort

This collaboration led to the co-sponsoring and planning of the Archdiocese's first conference, Care for God's Creation: The Laudato Si Action Platform, where Xavier faculty, staff, and students contributed by speaking on panels, leading breakout sessions, and assisting with a prayer service.

Upcoming Conference

Xavier University hosted the Laudato Si' Conference on October 11th, 2025. Additional information will be provided about upcoming conferences.
