Earth Day novena sistersofmercy.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=342&Itemid=237 from Sisters of Mercy of the Americas
And from:
**The Catholic Climate Covenant: **The St. Francis Pledge to Care for Creation and the Poor was launched one year ago, the day before Earth Day. Since then, thousands of Catholic individuals,
families, schools, parishes and organizations have pledged to Pray, Learn, Assess, Act and Advocate
as part of their commitment.
As Earth Day 2010 approaches, you are encouraged to spread the word about the Covenant initiative
and to help generate thousands more pledges. Download and share these helpful resources with your
family, friends, fellow parishioners, classmates and others:
