St. James Parish, Pennington, will host a presentation on Pope Francis’ recent encyclical about the environment Oct. 21 at 7:15 p.m. in the church. “Laudato Si: A Discussion on the Meaning and Impact for our Church and our World,” will be led by Mark Rohlena of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, Washington.

“People in town have been asking our parishioners for the Catholic Church’s position on the paper,” reported Nancy Lukash, director of religious education for St. James Parish. “The USCCB was eager to send someone to speak here when we asked.”

Rohlena, formerly CEO of Catholic Charities of Central Colorado, is the U.S. Bishops’ director of domestic social development with a special emphasis on poverty. He holds a bachelor’s degree in history and political science from Christendom College, Front Royal, Va., and a law degree from the Ave Maria School of Law, Ann Arbor, Mich.
