Dear Mountain Partnership members and friends,

As you know the Mountain Partnership Secretariat is supporting the Living Chapel initiative that was  brought to our attention by an MP member. Please see below a message and the newsletter of the Living Chapel team.

We do hope you are all doing well and look forward to hearing from you,

Rosalaura

Dear friends,

We are writing  to update you on the work that our team, located both in the United States and Europe, is doing on the Living Chapel programme despite the slowdown due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Please find below the first issue of our newsletter.

The Living Chapel is a global initiative involving many countries through governments, organizations and institutions such as NGOs, United Nations organizations and the Vatican. Due to the current COVID-19 emergency, the presentation of the Living Chapel, planned to take place on the occasion of the fifth anniversary of the Encyclical Laudato si’ (24 May) and the planting ceremonies of the gardens, will be delayed with respect to the initial programme.

We will communicate the new schedule as soon as it will be redefined. In the meantime please note that it is still possible to join this initiative and set up a Laudato sì garden in your Country. Please contact me at [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> for more information.

To those of you who are already part of the initiative, you will be receiving a package as soon as the post office services and couriers will be operational again.

Best regards,

Alberto Del Lungo, PhD

An update from The Living Chapel

In these uncertain times for our global family, The Living Chapel initiative is continuing to work towards our mission of inspiring, educating, and equipping all people to care for our common home.

On 18 March, the second and final container with components of The Living Chapel arrived from the US to the Rome Botanical Garden. While all construction operations in Italy are currently halted to prevent the spread of COVID-19, we are hopeful that our small local team will be able to safely resume work on this outdoor installation in April. We aim to complete the preliminary assembly by the end of May and share the Living Chapel with the world through photo and video documentation as a space of serene harmony and a symbol of hope.

Plants and seedlings are currently growing in the Rome Botanical Garden and in our partners’ nurseries, ready to be installed on the Chapel’s green walls.

While we look forward to the time when we will be able to invite you to visit the Living Chapel in person, we have been busy organising our program across online platforms and will keep you updated on our new schedule as soon as it's confirmed.

Thank you for being part of The Living Chapel global family.
