Let's make sure we preserve our Mother Earth like Pope Francis asks us to do. How can we start to accomplish this? By realizing that there's an old saying "We don't inherit the Earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children."
From Pope Francis' encyclical "Laudato Si" arose the formation of the Diocesan Environmental Stewardship Ministry. This ministry seeks to find solutions to reducing the carbon footprint by encouraging each individual to reduce, recycle and re-use our resources and to remember that God asks us to become stewards of the universe to preserve it for the future. In this way, Jesus will have a place to "come home" when we celebrate his birth.
