The LORD God then took the man and settled him in the garden of Eden, to cultivate and care for it. (Genesis 2:15)
Living our vocation to be protectors of God’s handiwork is essential to a life of virtue; it is not an optional or a secondary aspect of our Christian experience. (Pope Francis, Laudato Si)

Our Mission
- Encourage and provide opportunities for the parishioners of St. Bernard to live out God’s call to care for creation.
- Educate parishioners about Catholic social teaching on ecological issues, and about how we as individuals and as a parish community can take action to work towards a sustainable future.
- Build community within the parish through shared values and action relating to ecological issues.
- Work with parish leadership and staff to develop and implement programs for St. Bernard’s buildings and grounds, with the goal of reducing our environmental footprint and achieving long term sustainability goals.
- Partner with environmental groups on a national and local level and participate in shared initiatives.
