Sacristy Renovation Completed
The renovation
of the sacristy was finally completed this past week when the sink was
installed.
Today, after Mass, several people gathered as Fr. Jamie led an impromptu blessing on the sink and gave thanks for all who made this renovation possible and for all worked hard on the campaign.
The best
Christmas gift is to realize how much you already have.
From the Green Team:
Transportation
is the No. 1 source of carbon dioxide emissions associated with the holidays.
Limit driving as much as possible during the holidays by "stacking"
your visits to places that may be further away.
If you're
going to go visit one family or one set of friends, go visit everyone on the
same trip, don't make three or four trips.
If each family
in the U.S. reduced gas consumption by 1 gallon, or opted to drive 20 miles
less, it could lead to 1 million tons of reduced greenhouse gas emissions,
according to the Clean Air Partnership.
