Parish

The Environmental Justice Program works closely with parishes in the Stockton Diocese and other local faith communities to provide resources on how to better care for creation. This includes how to switch to solar energy, local concerns about fracking, nature journaling, issue-specific study guides, and much more. We are especially excited about Pope Francis' Encyclical, Laudato Si' and have been busy sharing this document with parishes through thematic, audience-specific toolkits our staff has developed.

We are eager to share this program with your social justice committee, youth group, catechists, or anyone else who is interested through an interactive presentation tailored for your group. This is available in English and in Spanish for all age levels. We also have a toolkit to teach parishioners about environmental justice in Catholic Social Teaching, which is also available in English and Spanish. To schedule a presentation at your parish, please contact Jonathan Pruitt at jpruitt@ccstockton.org or 209-406-1181.

Environmental Justice has something for everyone, whether it be advocacy or art. We can provide informative presentations on EJ issues and workshops, as well as let you know the latest information in our Monthly Care for Creation e-newsletter. Together with our Environmental Justice in Action Meet-Up group, our program aims to reach Catholics and all people of goodwill alike. Check out these helpful resources by clicking the button below
