The FSPA direction statement guides us to nurture cosmic awareness, develop right relationships with all of God's creation, and promote sustainability of Mother Earth.
Sister Lucy Slinger acts as ecological advocate for FSPA. She manages the FSPA organic garden, leads ecospirituality retreats and provides sustainability presentations for many organizations.
See Sister Lucy present on Feb. 4 at Viterbo University's Humanities Symposium.


The Franciscan Tradition calls FSPA to honor the relationship with sacred Mother Earth and to focus our spiritual energies and economic resources in the care of God's creation. The integrity of Earth and environmental issues are important to all aspects of FSPA life.
We strive to preserve the integrity of God's creation, to increase social and global consciousness, to educate ourselves to political awareness and to advocate environmental health.
