Missa Laudato Si’
Spring | Saturday, March 15th, 2025, 7:30PM
JoAnn Rooney Hall | Mundelein Center for Fine and Performing Arts
This performance is in conjunction with Loyola University Chicago’s annual Climate Change Conference. In the form of a Mass, Missa Laudato Si’ contemplates climate change and caring for the earth by intertwining the Latin Mass text with prayers, poems, and texts about contaminated soil and water, and all the threatened creatures living under the climate and plastic crises, including “the tragic effects of environmental degradation on the lives of the world’s poorest.”

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Pope Francis’s Laudato si’ encyclical, The EcoVoice Project is excited to premiere ten new works that address the Pope’s important statement on climate justice. Following our first "call for scores," we will perform these new works alongside several guest speakers who will address eco-spirituality practices.
The “Cry of the Earth Call for Scores” requested that composers submit new choral works related to themes present within Pope Francis’s Laudato si encyclical. Composers were encouraged to broadly interpret the document through an interfaith and humanistic lens, while retaining the spiritual ethos of Pope Francis’s plea.
Ten finalists will be chosen for the Care for Creation performance on October 12th, 2025 at Loyola University Chicago. The performance will be undertaken by professional singers from The EcoVoice Project, conducted by Kirsten Hedegaard.
Reservations link and winning compositions will be shared on September 1st.
