Common Home Corps #3
June, 2025
Closed meeting and by invitation only
The Common Home Corps is a grant-bearing initiative that addresses the related challenges of climate change, youth climate anxiety, Catholic disaffiliation, and lack of the U.S. Church’s fidelity to creation care. The project is collaboratively led by Catholic Climate Covenant, The Hank Center and the School of Environmental Sustainability at Loyola University Chicago, and the Center for Justice and Peace at Creighton University. Twenty-five undergrads and young adults from across the US attended the first week-long training in June, 2023; and the setting of Cohort Three is underway– as Cohorts One and Two continue to work in the field.
