Environmental Justice Subcommittee

Our Mission & Goals

Rather than focus on why people don’t support a stronger relationship with God’s earth, the Environmental Justice Subcommittee works to examine and explain what can motivate individuals and groups to improve the condition of the environment through direct action and advocacy in support of nature.

  • Improve the environmental footprint of our parish, it’s members, and the community.
  • To conduct direct action by implementing composting programs, tree plantings, neighborhood clean ups, energy reduction strategies, and other environmental efforts that improve our footprint through collaboration within the parish and with partners.
  • To educate each other through information sharing and speakers who can help us accomplish these goals.

Justice & Peace Meetings

The Justice & Peace Committee generally meets on the 2nd Thursday of the month at 6 PM.
