Focus on Pope Francis’s encyclical on environment
The Graymoor Spiritual Life Center in Garrison is hosting an exhibit of photography by Brother John O’Hara, a Franciscan Friar of the Atonement. Titled Laudato Si, the exhibit was inspired by Pope Francis’s recent “Laudato Si ‘mi’ Signore” encyclical on the environment.
