Creation CareCreation Care responds to the teachings of Pope Francis. Ten years ago, he stirred the consciences of people across faiths, beliefs, and the world. He challenged us to reflect on how we relate to the Earth, to one another, and to the generations yet to come. Laudato Si’ was a clarion call to conversion—ecological, spiritual, economic, and political.
Our Creation Care Committee helps raise awareness and take transformative action to lessen our impact on the planet and address the needs of the most vulnerable in our parishes, the diocese, and beyond.
