Environmental Justice Programming at the CMC
CMC community environment program offers a variety of programming throughout the year centered around interactive, educational events and environmental stewardship opportunities. Our bilingual (English/Spanish) environmental events welcome people who may not know how to or feel included to participate in other, more well-known environmental groups. We offer family-friendly, multicultural events to learn about different environmental topics, explore nature together, and take action with one another to care for our common home.
Want to participate with us? Check our Facebook page for upcoming events or click below to receive an email reminder for our next event.
Caring for Creation
Exploring Nature Together
Learning About Environmental Topics
“Our goal is clear: to build, within the next decade, a world where we can meet the needs of the present generations, including everyone, without compromising the possibilities of future generations.” – Pope Francis, TED Talk Oct 2020
Why we do this programming:
- As a Catholics, we are called to Care for Creation
- Taking care of our environment is necessary to holistically care for people in need
- The people most impacted by environmental problems are the people that CMC serves (low-income individuals and people of color)
