Today, November 11, 2025, thirty-four members of the Comboni Family from around the world have gathered at the Sagrada Familia Social Center in Belém, Brazil, to celebrate the Comboni Family Forum on Integral Ecology 2025. This year’s forum is being held to coincide with COP30, an international conference on climate change.
The Comboni Family Forum on Integral Ecology (FFCEI) thus offers a concrete expression of communion with those who advocate for a just society that respects and protects our common home.
The opening session began with a prayer, followed by a brief introduction to the FFCEI, its purpose, and its mission. Participants then took part in group discussions, followed by a moment of sharing and presentation of the week’s program. The day concluded with the celebration of Holy Mass, during which participants gave thanks to God for the gift of creation and prayed for the grace to protect it.
Tomorrow we will continue to be present at the People’s Summit, which is part of COP30, with its various exhibitions and exchanges of ideas. We pray to God for the sensitivity and courage to heed and defend the cry of the earth. It is our commitment to raise awareness among the younger generations that we have only one common home and that it must be cared for with concrete actions that will endure over time.
