On this springtime Sunday that is also Earth Day, we can respond to God’s glory revealed in creation around us: give thanks to God while delighting in the life of our gardens, beaches, woods & rivers; reduce the use of pesticides to protect pollinators, pets and children; buy food at farmers markets and farm stands; & live the “St. Francis Pledge to Care for Creation and the Poor.:” Please visit www.catholicsocialjustice.org . for more ways to care.
