God Calls Us To Be Stewards of Creation
As a community of women who follow in the footsteps of Francis and Clare:- We believe that creation is a gift from God.
- We believe that God’s compassion extends to all that God has made,
- We believe that God’s gifts are envisioned for the needs of the human family and for future generations.
The climate is changing. The earth is warming up. We are deeply concerned about the effect that climate change is already having on the poorest of the poor whom we are called to serve. They are losing access to food, water, work, and are already suffering from the direct effects of environmental destruction.
Protecting the environment that sustains us and all other forms of life has become one of the most pressing public issues of our time.
We, gospel women, hold the call of God to be caretakers of our Earth.
