Creation Care Team: Caring for God’s People and Planet – Monday, March 31

Did you know that Pope Francis wrote a letter to everyone in the world, asking us to improve the way we care for God’s People and Planet? Join us as Brian Savoie, Sustainability Program Coordinator for the Archdiocese, discusses the Laudato Si encyclical and the Atlanta Laudato Si initiative and action plan.

The Archdiocesan Laudato Si Initiative (LSI) establishes cohorts of schools and parishes interested in considering sustainability in ten different areas of creation care, including energy conservation, water conservation and waste reduction. 

Our parish has joined the cohort and is working on energy, water and waste audits on campus buildings.  This work will provide a benchmark and map for future plans.  We would like to assemble a parish Creation Care Team that will play a vital role, representing our parishioners and having a voice in future planning. To RSVP or get more info, contact bsavoie@archatl.com
