EcoAnselm

MISSION STATEMENT

EcoAnselm is a group of parishioners concerned about our common home. Through education, communication, action, and prayer, we endeavor to raise ecological awareness and change our behaviors in order to live a more sustainable lifestyle which respects God’s creation.

As individuals and as a parish community we seek to answer the urgent call of Pope Francis for “a new dialogue about how we are shaping the future of our planet,” since, “Everyone’s talents and involvement are needed to redress the damage caused by human abuse of God’s creation.” (Laudato Si’, p. 14)

• an appreciation of the gifts of God’s creation and a desire to protect them
