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.

MISSION STATEMENT   La Vista Ecological Learning Center educates for deeper ecological awareness, contemplates the ongoing sacred story of the Universe, and celebrates Earth’s seasonal cycles. Through seasonal celebrations, retreats, and Earth Literacy programs, we discover the wonder and fragility of Earth. We explore a practical lifestyle based on a mutually enhancing human-Earth relationship. Participants return to their communities both living and teaching from a deepened awareness of Creation’s Integrity.
