The Parish Social Ministry Department has endorsed the Pledge of St. Francis to care for Creation and for Persons who are poor. We are: - Collaborating with our Office of Lifelong Formation and Education for strong work in October, 2009.
- Conferred with each of our 115 parishes to ascertain their reception of the Easter Week 1st Class mailing from Catholic Coalition on Climate Change – and trying to find out why most don’t remember ever seeing it.
- Emailed key materials to our 115 parishes 2 weeks after Easter.
- Grateful to The Record, our Archdiocesan newspaper, for 2 editorials + 1 major article on this effort so far.
- Grateful to Catholic Conference of Kentucky’s Witness will carry a major article in its next issue.
- Grateful to the Nelson County KY newspaper, The Kentucky Standard, and The Lebanon Enterprise for publishing a guest column on the St Francis Pledge.
- Staying in touch with our Archbishop regarding the coming encyclical on social concerns.
