For more than 40 years, Columban missionaries have been at the forefront of protecting the environment from destructive practices and promoting sustainable alternatives. Our experience of living with the natural world and with marginalized and exploited communities has inspired us to seek ways to restore right relationships with all of God’s creation.

Over those 40 years, what have Columbans learned about how to best care for creation? What lessons can people of faith implement in their own daily lives?

As the world celebrates "Earth Month," join the St. Columban Mission for Justice, Peace and Ecology to hear from several projects Columbans sponsor around the world. This includes the Laudato Si’ International Scholars Tertiary Education Network (or LISTEN Network) and the Center for Ecozoic Living and Learning (or, CELL), among others.
