SUSTAINABLE LIVING.   To care for the Earth is to share with God in the act of Creation.  Living sustainably is an important aspect of our Christian Catholic way of life. Catholic Social Teaching is concerned with not only human rights and justice, but also with the welfare of the planet. Being pro-life includes being concerned about all of life, and living so that there is enough for everyone, forever. The Sustainable Living Committee works in collaboration with the Sustainable Living Committee at St. Sebastian parish.
