Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

Our mission is to guide all people to encounter the beauty of creation and the Creator through service to the poor, mission trips, outdoor adventurer and environmental stewardship.

  • Environmenal Stewardship - As Pope Francis explains in the Laudato si, Concern for the environment thus needs to be joined to a sincere love for our fellow human beings and an unwavering commitment to resolving the problems of society. Creatio believes that in reconciling human beings with nature, we will grow closer to solving the many cultural, spiritual, and educational challenges around us. Creatios environmental projects include restoration of the natural environment in the Galapagos Islands, educating local communities on environmental best practices and hosting serveral academic environmental conferences.

    Expenses $487,759 · Revenue $64,598

  • Outdoor Adventure - As Denver Archbishop Samuel Aquila wrote, Creatio promotes activities in nature with young people as a way to help them encounter Jesus, who so often withdrew himself into the wilderness and prayed (Luke 5:16). By bringing people into nature and allowing them to experience the beauty of creation, Creatio has been able to ignite a flame within the hearts of young people and open the door to deeper conversations of the role that Jesus plays in their lives. Creatio has completed over 100 outdoor adventure tripe in its history, including walking the Camino de Santiago in Spain, skiing, hiking, rock climbing and making pilgrimages to the Santuario de Chimayo in New Mexico.

    Expenses $50,229 · Revenue $66,960

  • Service to the Poor & Mission Trips - By serving the poorest of the poor, Creatio aims to bring missionaries closer to seeing the face of Christ - thereby reconciling themselves to one another and to the Creator - as well as showing those who we serve that they are greatly loved. Throughout Creatios history, we have completed over 40 mission trips across 7 different countries. Our projects include working alongside locals to provide housing, water, and community spaces; helping with relief efforts, such as the disastrous 2013 Philippines typhoon; providing spiritual and catechetical classes; and many others.

On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
