This eagerly-awaited film brings four voices to Rome to bear witness to Pope Francis about the affects of climate injustice: a young person from India, a climate refugee from Senegal, an indigenous leader from the Amazon and marine biologist couple from Hawaii. Beautifully filmed, with a quiet honesty that will touch your heart, this is a film about a special letter which the Pope wrote to each and every one of us: Laudato Si’.
The 8th IPA Assembly will be held in St. John’s, Newfoundland & Labrador, Canada.
18th – 24th June 2023

The International Presentation Association was born in 1988, as a new form of global consciousness, so that Nano Nagle’s global legacy can live on today.
We deliver the global advocacy mission of the Presentation Sisters and Presentation People today. Because we are an association of over 1,500 religious sisters and Presentation People, we have a presence in over 20 countries. Click on the map to learn more.
The International Presentation Association (IPA) was accredited with the United Nation’s Department of Public Information (DPI) in 1997 and we received consultative status with the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) in 2000.
ECOSOC gives rights to non-governmental organisations (NGOs) like the IPA, so that we can both observe and contribute to its work.
We use this consultative status to influence policies at the United Nations, on behalf of people and Earth made poor. Together with other likeminded NGOs and religious organisations, such as Edmund Rice International, we advocate for systemic justice at the UN.
We are represented at the UN by Dr Despoina Afroditi Milaki. She is based in New York and works on our priority issues. She is involved in five NGO Committees and working groups: the NGO Committees on Stop Trafficking in Persons, Status of Women, Social Development, Migration, and the Working Group on Girls.
