St. Mary’s Adopts Environmental Statement
LauraBa267, Thursday 30 April 2009 - 10:54:16 // comment: 0
Moving forward in the 21st century, the Catholic Church has found it necessary to enact certain policies regarding the environment. Following Papal leadership from Rome, St. Mary’s Parish has adopted an environmental statement that reflects the leadership of the universal Church as well as our parish. The following statement was drafted by a member of the Justice, Peace, and Integrity of Creation Committee, which provides leadership within the parish regarding environmental matters. This statement was approved by the Parish Pastoral Council in March 2009:
St. Mary's Justice and Peace and Integrity of Creation: Environmental Statement
The people of St. Mary's Parish embrace the sanctity of life by recognizing and living on the earth in a responsible, respectful, and sustainable manner. The words of Pope Benedict II guide us in our goals as a parish and ministry:
"Preservation of the environment, promotion of sustainable development and particular attention to climate change are matters of grave concern for the entire human family. No nation or business sector can ignore the ethical implications present in all economic and social development. With increasing clarity scientific research demonstrates that the impact of human actions in any one place or region can have worldwide effects. The consequences of disregard for the environment cannot be limited to an immediate area or populace because they always harm human coexistence, and thus betray human dignity and violate the rights of citizens who desire to live in a safe environment."
Message for the 2007 World Day of Peace (From the Vatican, 1 September 2007)
