MERIDEN, CT (12-23-2002) – The Franciscan Sisters of the Eucharist happily invite you to visit our newly-published website, Praise Be To You. The site was developed as part of a generous grant from the Sisters of St. Francis Sacred Heart Charitable Fund, Denver. The focus of the site, the Praise Be To You! Educating for Laudato Si’ Initiative, is to share the Franciscan value of respect for all life and for creation in union with Pope Francis’ encyclical, Laudato Si’ (Praise be to You), On Care for Our Common Home. Caring for creation – land, animals, plants – has been a significant part of the Franciscan Sisters of the Eucharist community life since our beginning. On the website, we share not only four main pillars that underlie our care for creation but also simple, practical educational modules to use with children and adults.
