On January 30, 2025, Pope Francis received a small delegation representing the Laudato Si’ Movement, the Union of Superiors General, the International Union of Superiors General, and Roman VI (JPIC delegates for the Franciscan Family) in the Vatican Apostolic Palace.

Friar Michael Lasky, OFM Conv. (to the Holy Father’s immediate left), represented Roman VI. The twelve-member delegation was able to discuss with the Holy Father hopes for celebrating the Jubilee Year, the 800th anniversary of the Canticle of the Creatures, and the 10th anniversary of Pope Francis’ Laudato Si’.
