  1. Reduce our consumption of meat.
  2. Host Parish events on COPs (Conference of Parties) and provide the “faith” connections for climate action.
  3. Reduce the use and need for plastics.
  4. Attend climate rallies.

As we approach the Lenten Season, consider giving up practices that hurt the environment.

I hold a special place in my heart this Christmas for the people of the archdiocese as it is my first with you as your shepherd.
