CARE FOR CREATION MINISTRY
Our parish, in partnership with Holy Rosary, has an active group committed to Pope Francis’ call to care for our “common home” through prayer, advocacy, and education for not only our parishes but for the wider community. The pandemic has had a significant negative impact on efforts to address climate change, and its implications are even more serious and life-threatening now. But we can make a difference and we invite you to join us in our efforts. The group meets on the second Monday of each month by Zoom at 6:30 pm. New members are always welcome. Currently we are making plans to celebrate Earth Day in April. Contact

“WHAT ARE YOU DOING FOR EARTH DAY 2021?”
April 22nd marks the 51st Anniversary of Earth Day. Pope Francis asks us to hear the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor. Start thinking of what you can do to mark the day. Pick up litter on your street, plant flowers popular with bees, pray for those working to improve our environment. You can show how you care by posting on social media (including the WS Blog!) or creating a poster for your window or yard or both! Your Care for Creation team is looking forward to seeing your creativity! If you are able, consider donating to one of the many organizations working on this issue. Some possibilities:
