This is the first in a series of webinars that will shine light on diocesan care for creation efforts in the United States. In this online seminar you will hear from representatives in the Archdioceses of Atlanta and Chicago present about:
“Encounter for Our Common Home” - a campaign calling upon our fellow Catholics to meet with their U.S. Senators the week of May 2-6, 2022 to support legislation that meaningfully addresses the climate crisis. For more information on Encounter Campaign go to: https://godsplanet.us/advocacy
Watch webinar #2: "The Legislative Encounter" here.
The 2021 Earth Day program theme is “Restore Our Common Home”, a theme that addresses how as people of faith we must urgently act to not only protect but restore God’s beautiful gift of creation. The one-hour educational and prayer program is e the perfect way for our families, parishes, schools, and religious communities to prepare for the Vatican’s launch of the Laudato Si’ Action Platform in May 2021.
We are delighted to highlight Catholic Creation Care resources and tools for parish leaders from our friends at The Pastoral Center. Their resources* are designed to coach, equip, and empower parish leaders to invite their community to better care for creation. These materials are recommended to anyone wishing to engage with the Laudato Si' Action Platform.

Eating “lower on the food chain” is a powerful way to answer Pope Francis’ call to Care for Creation, and something we can all do every day.
This webinar to promote diocesan activity for the synod is made possible by the Seelos Foundation in thanksgiving to Blessed Francis X. Seelos, C.Ss. R.
Special thanks to Vince Stricherz for creating these “Weekly Tips” on Caring for our Common Home. These are intended to be put in your church bulletin each week and are a good way to remind people of how their individual actions can have a huge impact for our Earth.
Resources for the Advent Season:
A conversation about the related yet distinct missions of Catholic Climate Covenant and Laudato Si' Movement. . We are two organizations both working on care for creation, and sometimes we hear: Are they the same organization? Do they work on the same things? What makes them different?
Staff and volunteers from both organizations describe our similar missions, different approaches, and complementary values and love for creation. We also provide practical ways in which you can engage with both organizations in efforts to advance care for creation in our Church, nation, and world.
