In conjunction with Laudato Si’, Pope Francis’ encyclical on ecology and climate change, the Benedictine tradition of environmental stewardship is at the forefront of Saint Vincent College’s commitment to reverence for the creation that God has made.
This is reflected in a number of long-standing campus initiatives:
As well as newer projects:
Pope Francis has taken the title of his encyclical on the environment from a recurring exclamation in a poem which was composed by his patron Saint Francis of Assisi in the early 13th century, wherein everything in our created world is consecrated in praise to God: “Canticle of the Sun,” Laudato Si (“Praised be you my Lord . . . ”).
