The Saint Francis of Assisi Environmental Movement (REFA) has been involved in ecological education in Poland for over 40 years. It especially cares about the ethical perspective in the recognition of environmental issues, shaping the attitude of respect towards nature and the proper relationship between man and the environment as indispensable conditions for sustainable and ecological development. From June 2015 (the date of the Laudato si’ encyclical announcement), REFA has been strongly engaged in the promotion of its message (among others e.g. during the COP in Paris and World Youth Day in Krakow). We run educational projects and campaigns targeted at young people, adults and Catholic communities.

Our team is experienced in the implementation and coordination of projects and we cooperate with network of experts. REFA is one of the few organizations in Poland that has a team of people able to translate the ecological message of the Laudato si’ encyclical and the Church thought on ecology into a language accessible to a wide audience using various media such as: a guide to the main themes of encyclicals, a scientific monograph, workshop materials, running a dedicated website. We have experience in preparing and conducting educational projects for various groups, parties and local communities.

This section contains information about our Movement in English.

The St. Francis of Assisi Environmental Movement (REFA) has been working for 40 years to promote the principles of Christian ecology and an attitude of respect for creation in accordance with Christian spirituality. We want to be the voice of environmentalists within the structures of the Catholic Church and a Christian voice among environmentalists. We are committed to protecting the natural environment locally and globally. We implement educational goals in specific projects, publications, events. This article presents a brief historical outline of the formation of the Movement’s Franciscan idea.
