Pope Francis Presentation 2015

The 2^nd Annual Presentation on Pope Francis
Honoring the 2^nd Anniversary of His Election

          His Commitment to the Environment

'Let us be protectors of God's creation, protectors of God's plan inscribed in nature,
protectors of one another and of the environment.'

Pope Francis has energized the faithful world since his election on March 13, 2013. A hallmark of his papacy has been a focus on environmental protection as a Christian ethic of care. Dan Misleh, Executive Director of the Catholic Climate Covenant, will offer his insights on the Pope's commitment to creation on the eve of the publication of his encyclical on ecology.

Founding Director of the Catholic Climate Covenant

Dan graduated with a degree in business management from Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio and holds a masters degree in theology from the Franciscan School of Theology in Berkeley, California. Dan and his wife Susan have three children and live in Cheverly, Maryland near Washington, DC.


In May 2014, Xavier's President, Fr. Michael Graham, S.J. signed the Catholic Climate Covenant's St. Francis Pledge joining other Catholic and Jesuit universities, individuals, families, parishes, organizations, and institutions committed to Pray, Learn, Assess, Act, and Advocate in ways that protect the environment and the world's poor.
