Commitment and Resources

As a Laudato Si' Congregation, SSNDCP embarks on year three of a seven-year journey toward an integral ecology. The 2024-2025 Central Pacific (CP) Province Laudato Si’ Action Plan (LSAP) reflects existing SSND values and priorities rooted in You Are Sent and Love Gives Everything, as well as our desire to respond proactively and creatively to the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor.
