St. Jane de Chantal's Environmental Committee responds to the Bible's mandate on the parish level to
"care for God's creation" including our natural world and the poor who suffer most from climate change.
The goal is to educate, advocate and act to protect our natural resources as individuals. Notices will appear
in the bulletin from time-to- time giving suggestions about how to save energy and money and help
preserve our environment.
