Greening Our Parish
Reducing & Recycling Plastic In Our Parish

Ponder
As our faith grows it will strengthen us to encounter the changes we need to make to better care for each other and our common home.

Pray
Trusting in God gives us the courage to confront our challenges in our conflicted consumer society.

Aspire
To live out the fullness and richness of our Catholic faith it is important to reflect on how our lifestyle choices impact our community and our environment.

Aspiring Steps Forward

• Eliminated single-use plastic cutlery, coffee stirrers, and creamer cups
• Reduced the need for throwaway cups and plates by transitioning to lighter-weight porcelain plates and coffee mugs (for events under
• 100 people)
• Dedicated recycling bins that make it easier to separate recyclables from trash
• E-cycling all technical equipment
