The Christian Social Action Commission‚s Care for Creation Committee has as its purpose to promote the environmental restoration of God's creation in the operation of the church, stewardship of parishioners, and awareness and outreach to the community.

What better way to take the next steps than by attending the free Earth Day Indiana Festival at the White River State Park, west of the Indiana Statehouse on Washington St. in downtown Indianapolis, on Saturday, April 23 from 11 am to 4 pm.  This outdoor festival takes place under large tents, so come prepared to learn and have a good time, rain or shine.  The scenic park is surrounded by museums, the White River, and the Indianapolis Zoo.

Environmental protection, conservation, and sustainable living will be covered.  The Festival combines more than 140 environmental and conservation exhibits with live music, special activities for kids, good food and family fun.  The festival has grown each year to become one of the most successful Earth Day events in the country with recent attendance estimated to have reached 30,000 people.  Care for Creation is growing.  The faith community will be well represented by the Hoosier Interfaith Power and Light organization following their successful launch in March with solid support from the Catholic community in Indiana.
