Green Initiative

The committee sponsored a workshop for parishioners on this movement and also hosted one of the two city-
wide "Celebration of Creation" events. Regularly a subcommittee of the Social Justice Committee educates the parish through the Parish Bulletin regarding ways in which parishioners can "stay green." The parish offices and Resurrection Site of Holy Family Schools have made consistent efforts to "go green."
