Environmental Committee

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. Look for notices
in the bulletin giving suggestions about how to save energy, save money, and help preserve our environment.
