Care for Creation
Inspired by Pope Francis’ Encyclical, Laudato Si, we welcome people of all ages to help educate, act, and advocate on behalf of the environment. Learn more about the ministry and events happening around the Diocese and please join us for our upcoming meetings which are held every two weeks on Tuesday nights at 7pm in person and online.
“The urgent challenge to protect our common home includes a concern to bring the whole human family together to seek a sustainable and integral development, for we know that things can change. The Creator does not abandon us; He never forsakes His loving plan or repents of having created us. Humanity still has the ability to work together in building our common home.” -Pope Francis, Laudato Si
