Our mission is to strive to be good stewards of Creation, the earth, our planet, which is “our common home”. We of the human race have the ability and the responsibility to use or “cultivate” the earth for our sustenance and also to “conserve”, protect and further develop the goods of the earth for the common good, not only of the whole of the human species, but also for all other species of the created earth. (Gen. 2, 15)
