Practical life

Every action counts.

Because we want our way of life to reflect our Christian faith, we encourage individuals and communities to adopt lifestyles that respect creation. This includes practices such as reducing carbon footprints, adopting responsible consumption, and encouraging greater sobriety in all areas of daily life.

Prayer as the foundation of our actions

Prayer is our most precious tool, and cannot be dissociated from action. For prayer topics related to the protection of living things, join us every morning for the Prayer for Creation.
