Expand Your Vision

Come, broaden your vision at La Vista!


 

La Vista Ecological Learning Center, in Godfrey, Illinois, is a ministry of the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate. Born out of the Oblate’s ongoing effort to respond to the priority of Justice, Peace, and the Integrity of Creation, the Center was created to raise ecological awareness.  A week long Earth Literacy Program, in addition to seasonal celebrations, retreats, presentations and discussion groups help participants  learn of both the wonder and fragility of Earth.
