The Care of Creation Ministry of SJE-OLMC welcomes you to this page that will help you to deepen your understanding of the immediate needs concerning the planet.  To begin with, the tradition of Catholic Social Teachings encourages us to engage in a process, which we would like to adopt for our purposes.  For Our Common Home we invite you to:

• PRAY as a community of Faith
• SEE and learn about the social justice issues surrounding climate change as they affect society
• JUDGE and understand the impact on what is happening and why it is happening
• ACT to respond to the needs

Please Note:  Week of May 16^th – 24^th:
Pope Francis and the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops along with the Global Catholic Climate Movement invite you to celebrate the 5^th Anniversary of Laudato Si’. Click Here to Sign up.

SEE: On Care for Our Common Home (Laudato Si') is the new appeal from Pope Francis addressed to "every person, living on this planet" for an inclusive dialogue about how we are shaping the future of our planet. Pope Francis calls the Church and the world to acknowledge the urgency of our environmental challenges and to join him in embarking on a new path. This encyclical is written with both hope and resolve, looking to our common future with candor and humility. (Click Links Below)
