The Creation Care Team at Saint Pius X aims to educate the parish community on how to live our Catholic faith through protecting our common home and caring for the poor. The goal is to commit the Saint Pius X community to positive, concrete actions within our homes and our parish so that we can become a more sustainable society. We strive to answer Pope Francis’s call about climate change in Laudato Si to advocate for the most vulnerable who are negatively affected by it. We also want to protect and preserve our world for future generations.
The Creation Care Team is part of a network of parish groups organized by the Catholic Climate Covenant, a nonprofit organization created in 2006 by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops to address growing ecological awareness and the need to implement Catholic social teaching on ecology within the U.S. Church.
Our mission is to pray, act, educate and advocate for the care of our common home, the Earth.
PRAY and reflect on the duty to protect the poor and vulnerable by caring for God’s Creation.
ACT to reduce our contribution to climate change.
EDUCATE others on what the Catholic Church teaches about caring for our common home.
ADVOCATE for Catholic principles in climate change decisions, especially as they affect those who are poor and vulnerable.
