During Advent, we embark on a journey of preparation for the arrival of Christ. As we focus on His light in the darkness, we strengthen our ability to see God in the world.

May your day be filled with peace!

All of us at the Archdiocese of Indianapolis Creation Care Commission

Let us not leave in our wake a swath of destruction and death which will affect our own lives and those of future generations."

Lighting the way to Christmas

This Advent season, join us on Thursday, December 5 for a reflection on the spirit of Advent and its connection to Laudato Si’. Together, we’ll explore how faith and ecological action can guide us in preparing for Christmas.

Contemplating Christ in Creation

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” (2 Corinthians 5:17)

During Advent, we embark on a journey of preparation for the arrival of Christ. As we focus on His light in the darkness, we strengthen our ability to see God in the world.
