Vision The Care for Creation Ministry responds to Pope Francis’ Encyclical Laudato Si’ by motivating and equipping all to take part in “a new dialogue about how we are shaping the future of our planet” ( LS 14). This ministry embraces the interconnectedness of all life; the richness of everyone’s culture; diverse experiences, talents, and needs; as well as a personal invitation to become missionary disciples of Christ, living in harmony with creation.
