Maurice Lange, Director of Eco-Justice

 

Welcome to the Franciscans For Earth part of the website!  

    In 2007, the Franciscan Sisters of Our Lady of Perpetual Help chose Earth as their corporate stance!  Through witnessing to the Franciscan value of conversion, the Sisters work to realign their own perspectives toward living life more sustainably and invite others to do the same.

    We extend our invitation to you to join in helping to preserve planet Earth.  You may wish to join us by attending one of our upcoming events. You may wish to share your name with us and we’ll let you know when an action alert needs attention. Please do keep us in prayer as we work for, and with, this primary revelation of God’s love: planet Earth.
