HNM Care for Creation Ministry Welcomes You
About
Holy Name of Mary’s Care for Creation group is a ministry of our Catholic community in Croton-on-Hudson, NY. Our mission is to integrate Pope Francis’ encyclical letter Laudato Si (Praise be to you) into our daily lives.
Our ministry began in 2017 in response to the Pope’s appeal to acknowledge the urgency of our environmental challenges and to join him in embarking on a new path. We do this through talks and events once a month related to raising awareness of global warming and its effects on our sister Earth. We welcome concerned participants from all religious traditions and denominations as well as those with no religious affiliation.

Best Management Practices for Common Invasive Plants in the Lower Hudson Valley
There is a “knowing-doing gap” in invasive species control, where research into best management practices often does not inform on-the-ground practices of land managers. We hope these factsheets will help address this gap in the Lower Hudson Valley.
