Pope Francis calls us to make our earth a better place. To answer that call, Mary Queen of the Holy Rosary Parish has created a Care for Creation Commission that will present information about the importance of this Catholic social teaching.
The Commission is meeting regularly to review both educational elements and action items that will be suggested to parishioners and envisions suggesting books, movies, documentaries, and discussions to open our eyes to aspects of creation that we might not see and its importance to the life of a Catholic Christian.
