LIVERPOOL ARCHDIOCESE ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY TASK GROUP

The Liverpool Archdiocese Environmental Policy Task Group was established in 2020 in response to Pope Francis’s call to respond to the climate crisis. The group is chaired by Fr Matthew Nunes and group members are from all over the archdiocese including priests and deacons, senior archdiocesan management; lay people from parishes and schools, CAFOD and the Archdiocesan Justice and Peace Commission

The group works in six areas:

•   theology, liturgy and worship
•   children and young people
•   church property
•   management, finance and investments
•   community understanding
•   personal behaviour and global responsibility

Fr Matthew represents the group on the Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales’ Interdiocesan Environmental Leads Group and there are strong links with environmental charities Faiths for Change and Hope for the Future.

Responding to Pope Francis’s call is complex and involves all areas of our lives as Catholics. The task group will work with parishes to determine what help they require in their work to care for creation
