St. Francis Environmental Pledge

Fish Tales has been dedicating some time to look at how we can contribute to a clean environment.  Much of what we talk about can wrapped up in the St. Francis Pledge, which comes from our friends at the Catholic Climate Covenant.  It asks us to do the following:  Pray and reflect on the duty to protect God’s Creation and protect the poor and vulnerable by…

  • Learning about and educating others on the causes and moral issues of climate change.
  • Assessing how we as individuals, families, parishes and other affiliates can positively  contribute by our own use of energy, consumption and wastefulness.
  • Initiating discussions about how we can change our own behaviors to reduce the ways we contribute to climate change.
  • Be a good role model as to what we all can do to help the poor and vulnerable understand the importance of protecting God’s precious creation.

Together, let’s take the pledge!
