Care for God’s creation is a tenet of Catholic social teaching, a fact emphasized by Pope Francis in his encyclical Laudato Si’, “On Care for Our Common Home.” Help the families in your parish or school understand what the Church says about caring for the environment with this faith-sharing guide available for download here at Catechist’s Journey.
Excerpted from 52 Simple Ways to Talk with Your Kids about Faith by Jim Campbell, the guide invites parents to start meaningful conversations with their children inspired by natural teachable moments. Whether it’s a specific date on the calendar like Earth Day or when you’re enjoying the beauty of God’s creation during summer vacation, the Caring for the Environment guide reminds us that all life is a sacred gift from God, and as God’s people we have a special responsibility to care for the environment.
