The Ecological Initiative is part of the ongoing effort of the Congregation to respond to the priority of Justice, Peace, and the Integrity of Creation. In the spirit of Eugene de Mazenod, the founder of the Oblates, this ministry calls forth that which lies deepest within us. First we ponder: “What does it mean to be fully human in a continually emerging Universe?”
This leads to further reflection: “What does it mean to be a person of faith in a continually emerging Universe?”
In response, the Initiative explores Creation’s Integrity and offers a deepened sense of connection with the Cosmic Christ.
The Oblate Ecological Initiative seeks not only to educate Oblates and others in the area of ecological awareness, but also to ground them in the Sacred Story of all Creation.
The Initiative has two components:
Additionally, the Ecological Initiative publishes a quarterly newsletter, La Vista Visions, which contains ecological news and reflections, practical tools for living a sustainable life, and the Center’s calendar of events.
