A vision for realizing the promise of integral ecology and putting it into practice. 
 
In his landmark encyclical on care for creation, Laudato Si’, Pope Francis popularized the idea of integral ecology by connecting contemporary ecological concerns and church teachings on creation addressed by Catholic Social Thought. In Learning the Language of Creation, Franciscan Sister Damien Marie Savino, a professor of civil and environmental engineering and earth sciences, frames integral ecology as a pilgrimage guided by a process of listening and learning the language of creation. In this book, she offers a new way of thinking about creation, human beings, and the relationship between them to realize the promise of integral ecology put into practice.

Damien Marie Savino, FSE, currently serves as the Melchor Visiting Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Earth Sciences (CEEES) at the University of Notre Dame, with a concurrent appointment in the McGrath Institute for Church Life. She holds a doctorate in civil and environmental engineering from The Catholic University of America. She also holds master’s degrees in theology and in soil science, as well as an undergraduate degree in biogeography from McGill University. Sister Damien Marie has lectured and written widely both nationally and internationally in the areas of ecology and theology, science and faith, and ecological resilience.
