The St. Hilary Creation Care Ministry works to connect our faith to stewardship of God’s creation. We provide a deeper awareness of environmental stewardship and suggest strategies and activities for home, within our parish, within our school, and in our community to be better stewards of our common home. We also work to implement these good stewardship practices in the school and parish.
