New Jersey
Coinciding with the 63rd anniversary of the opening of Vatican II, Catholics from across New Jersey gathered at Francis House of Prayer in Allentown to officially establish the New Jersey Chapter of the Laudato Si’ Movement (LSM) North America on Sat. Oct. 11. The new chapter brings together Catholics from two dioceses (Trenton and Camden), and the Archdiocese of Newark. As a Chapter of LSM, the group is committed to prayer, formation, and Gospel-inspired peaceful action in response to the urgent call to care for our common home.
