Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
We are pleased to announce that the Environmental Stewardship Ministry has developed a Lent Calendar. This calendar of facts and actions is a family program to engage everyone in thoughtful discussion about our relationship with God's creation and our obligations to each other. We hope this leads to changes in our habits and creates an awareness of our impact on others, particularly the poor. We have versions in English and Spanish.
Programs for Parishes
Many parishes are distributing this update to their parishioners by using the Flocknote draft message that is in the Diocese Library available to administrators of the parish Flocknote account. Go to The Library section on your home page and copy the draft Flocknote called Lent Calendar for Care of Creation . This makes it easy to send this information to your parish Flocknote distribution list.
Some parishes are also planning to distribute printed copies of the calendar to all children in the Religious Ed program or emailing them out to parents.
Please also make this program visible within your parish by adding the following to the bulletin.
