As a Franciscan parish, we strive to deepen knowledge of our Tradition and embody the Franciscan view of creation in the way we worship, evangelize, teach our children, and use the resources that God gave us.  Hence, the care of God’s creation is increasingly becoming an integral part of our parish life. 

Our preaching and liturgical music deepens our love of creation.  Moreover, St. Camillus Church evangelizes by offering the adult faith formation programs on care of creation to parishioners, promoting various activities around Earth Day that spur people to adopt a more sustainable lifestyle, and doing advocacy for policy and legislation.

Our parish community is undertaking an effort to “green” our campus, reduce our energy consumption, and eliminate practices that are wasteful and destructive to God’s creation.  If you feel called to join in this effort, please contact Fr.

Here is a calendar for Lent with suggested  actions pertaining to care of God's creation for 40 days. This is meant to supplement your required and voluntary Lenten practices.
