More to come!
Welcome to Holy Ground, Common Ground!
This is an evolving site for Catholics, Catholic parishes, and other interested faith communities of the Diocese of Tucson region in Arizona. Its purpose is to provide information and resources about caring for God’s creation in the context of the Catholic faith in particular, but will also speak to other faith traditions formed by a common call to be stewards of the Earth, respect life in all its forms, and care for the “least of these.”
This blog welcomes input from Catholics and parishes throughout the Diocese of Tucson. For more information, see:
