Two Catholics are among a dozen faith leaders who will be honored at the White House July 20 for their work on climate change.
Franciscan Sister Joan Brown, executive director of New Mexico Interfaith Power and Light, and Patrick Carolan, executive director of the Franciscan Action Network, were named Champions of Change by President Barack Obama.
Both told Catholic News Service they were surprised by the honor.
