We focus primarily on the following areas: care of creation; health and dental in underserved areas; refugees and immigrants; women and children in vulnerable situations; and other purposes that align with our values.

Laudato Si’ Project
Milwaukee, WI: Catholic Ecology Center
Laudato Si’ Project is a nonprofit organization founded in 2016 that promotes care for creation through faith-based environmental education and stewardship. The organization partners with more than twenty schools and parishes throughout the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. In 2021, it opened the Catholic Ecology Center, which provides educational programs, presentations, retreats, stewardship activities, and outdoor recreational opportunities. Its programs serve people of all ages, with particular emphasis on youth, families, and underserved communities.
For it is in giving that we receive.
