Archbishop Moeller High School was recently recognized by the Cincinnati Archdiocese’s Catholic Social Action Office and Care for Creation Task Force as a school that lives out Pope Francis’ Laudato Si’ message of caring for God’s creation.

A celebration service was held in the school’s chapel to commemorate the work of the following recipients, three out of four of which are Marianist: Archbishop Moeller High School, the Marianist Environmental Education Center, University of Dayton, and St. Bernard Parish.

To earn this designation, the organizations had to complete a facilities assessment and meet a target score for environmental stewardship practices, host a Care for Creation program, and motivate 10 percent of their member households to complete their own assessments.

Recipients received a letter of recognition from Archbishop Dennis Schnurr, a banner to display, and were featured on the archdiocesan website.
