In a time marked by social and ecological uncertainty, the five bishops of the Indiana Catholic Conference offer a message rooted in enduring Christian hope. Integral Ecology: A Sacramental Vision , written during the 2025 Jubilee Year of Hope, calls us to rediscover the profound interconnectedness of humanity, creation, and God’s saving love.

Addressed to “brothers and sisters in Christ and all people of goodwill in the state of Indiana,” this pastoral letter reflects on today’s challenges through the lens of the Good News of Jesus Christ. Building on the bishops’ previous teaching on care for creation, including their pastoral letter Care for the Earth released during the Great Jubilee of Year 2000, this new document offers encouragement rooted in “hope that does not disappoint” (Romans 5:5).

Integral Ecology invites us to consider a deeper, faith-filled understanding of our relationship with creation — one that recognizes the world as a gift from God and calls for responsible stewardship grounded in the sacramental life of the Church.

“The concept of integral ecology helps us see more clearly how human life and the natural world are deeply interconnected. Here in Indiana, we delight in the beauty of creation — from our Great Lake and winding rivers to forests, prairies, wetlands, and farmland. As people at home in this land and pilgrims journeying toward our true home in heaven, we are called to receive creation as a gift and to care for it with gratitude and hope.” — Most Reverend Charles Thompson, Archbishop of Indianapolis
