Bishop Blaire Calls for Stewardship and Human Dignity
Wednesday, November 9th, 2011(Nov. 9, 2011) In a speech to an ecumenical gathering in Louisville, Kentucky, Bishop Stephen Blaire of Stockton, CA and chairman of the U.S. bishops’ Committee on Domestic Justice and Human Development, addressed the Christian vocation to cultivate and care for God’s good gift of Creation, by reducing our consumption and our carbon footprint in order to ease the effects of climate change on the world’s poorest people. In doing so, Bishop Blaire identified how this commitment connects to Catholic concerns for human life and human dignity: People of faith bring a unique and important message: about the care of God’s creation, about those most vulnerable to environmental injustice. Read Bishop Blaire’s entire statement here. See coverage by Catholic News Service (scroll down to “People” story).

Educating Students about Catholic Social Teaching & Sustainability
Thursday, October 13th, 2011(Oct. 13, 2011) The Catholic Coalition on Climate Change has launched significant resources for Catholic high school aged youth and for institutions of higher learning. A six-session program Friending Planet Earth: Helping Youth Understand Solidarity & Sustainability in Light of Climate Change was produced in partnership with the Center for Ministry Development. Schools that are engaged in projects making the connection between Catholic Social Teaching and sustainability may also apply for the St. Francis Care for Creation Award, offered in collaboration with the National Council of Catholic Women. Catholic colleges and universities are invited to utilize Sustainability and Higher Education: A Toolkit for Mission Integration, to help them strengthen their commitments to Catholic mission, to “cultivate and care for” (Genesis 2:15) God’s good gift of Creation, to link these efforts to impacts on poor people at home and abroad and to develop sustainable campus communities.
