Providing Energy Solutions With A Higher Purpose

Catholic organizations must deal with the challenge of reducing expenses and creating income so that more resources can be devoted to fulfilling their missions. Additionally, inspired by Pope Francis’ encyclical Laudato Si’, Catholics are seeking to fulfill their moral and spiritual commitment to care for our "common home." However, accomplishing this goal requires resources that Catholic organizations often do not have. 

As a program of the Catholic Climate Covenant, Catholic Energies understands these challenges, and our program is tailored to the unique needs of Catholic organizations. Focusing primarily on solar, storage, and energy efficiency, we work to reduce the financial burden of high and uncertain energy costs. Our team works in collaboration with yours to determine which solutions are a good fit, a good value, and will achieve the sought-after end results. What's more, in many cases Catholic Energies can fund the system without any upfront cost to the Catholic organization. 

Our comprehensive three-step process will take your organization from an initial concept to a completed project.

“There is an urgent need to develop policies so that, in the next few years, the emission of carbon dioxide and other highly polluting gases can be drastically reduced, for example, substituting for fossil fuels and developing sources of renewable energy.”

- Pope Francis, Laudato Si’
