Franciscan Earth Care Initiative

The Franciscan Earth Care Initiative, launched in November 2018 by the Conventual Franciscan Friars of the Province of Our Lady of Consolation, is rooted in the Franciscan tradition of honoring creation. This initiative integrates environmental stewardship into daily life, inspired by St. Francis of Assisi's deep reverence for nature.

Greening the Mount at Mount St. Francis has served as a pilot program, leading to Province-wide and international efforts that promote sustainability, education, and eco-friendly practices.

Together, the Franciscan Earth Care Initiative embrace the Franciscan values of care, respect, and responsibility for creation—ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.
