Creation Care Endowment Fund
Since 2015, the Archdiocese of Indianapolis has supported environmental stewardship work in response to Pope Francis' encyclical Laudato Si'. During this Jubilee year and on the 10th anniversary of this monumental document, a new endowment has been created which aims to support our Catholic community in efforts to advance environmental sustainability. Interested in contributing?
This Jubilee year, Catholic communities across the United States will plan local pilgrimages to pray for the grace to encounter Christ in Creation and restore our relationships with God, Creation, and one another. Help plan or participate in a pilgrimage this fall!
If you have any questions, please contact us at mail@ourcommonhome.org
