Care for Creation: A Franciscan Spirituality Reading Group
Noel Terranova
St. Francis of Assisi was an ecological visionary who, over 800 years ago, set the church on a path of spiritual, theological, and ecological wholeness. His vision was the foundation of Pope Francis’ 2015 encyclical, Laudato Si’. In this Lenten book group we will read together an excellent contemporary unpacking of St. Francis’ ecological legacy, co-authored by three luminaries of Franciscan studies: Ilia Delio, OSF; Keith Douglass Warner, OFM; and Pamela Wood. Our reading, dialogue, and prayer together will inspire personal transformation and communal action to care for God’s creation.
This group is free and open to all. Please register to join. Optional free-will offerings will be accepted with gratitude.
* Class dates: March 1, 8, 15, 22, 2026
