MINNESOTA CATHOLIC CONFERENCE

Minnesota Our Common Home – Now available for online ordering

The newly developed Minnesota, Our Common Home resources:  the “Study Guide Version,” and “Ecological Examen”, will equip parishes and other organizations or ministries to establish small group studies focused on how we can live out a call to integral ecology so as to care for all of creation – both natural and human ecologies. Minnesota, Our Common Home is intended to distill the teachings of Pope Francis’ 2015 encyclical, Laudato si’, and  help readers apply its message locally. The “Ecological Examen” is intended, not for daily use, but as a periodic review of one’s life in light of the teachings of Laudato si’ and the ecological conversion to which it calls us. It is recommended as a practice during Lent or Advent of each year. The “Study Guide Version,” which contains the full text of Minnesota, Our Common Home, is intended for use in small groups. It incorporates group discussion questions, a weekly challenge to incorporate the teaching into daily life, and spaces for taking notes.

The Ecological Examen is available for $2.50, and the original full-text is available for $3.35. You can learn more about these resources, and place your order by visiting www.MNCatholic.org/OurCommonHome.
