The Office for Human Dignity is
in the process of reconstituting the
diocesan Care
for God's Creation (CGC) Committee.
The Care for God's Creation Committee will
ideally have a representative from every
parish and university in the diocese at its
monthly meeting. During these meetings we
discuss different environmental issues here
in the Diocese of Joliet, throughout the
state of Illinois, those that are taking
place in the United States, and matters
occurring internationally.
Please e-mail kestrada@dioceseofjoliet.org
for more info on the CGC Committee.
