Care for Creation

Concern for the environment needs to be joined to a sincere love for our fellow human beings.

Laudato Si Pope Francis,

The relationship between society and the Earth impacts generations, especially the poor and vulnerable. Environmental decisions benefit from evaluating this impact, community needs, and the availability of resources. MCC aims to:

  • Explore opportunities to implement Catholic Social Teaching on the environment in state policy, including access to safe and affordable drinking water and the stewardship of natural resources.

“The future of the human family depends also on how we safeguard the gift of creation that our Creator has entrusted to us.” — Pope Francis
