When you come to Mass, you will see a tree in the worship space. Write your resolution on a “leaf” and hang the leaf on the tree. Bring the tree to life!
We now have a “Green Corner” in the parish bulletin each week. When you have an ecology idea or website to share, please e-mail it to Anne Saevig: annes@stjosephparish.com.
