Recycling
Every item we throw away has a right place. A piece of paper. A plastic bottle. A can.
When we throw things into the wrong bin, we break the journey. We lose the chance to give that item a new life.
As Pope Francis reminds us in Laudato Si’, caring for creation begins with our everyday choices.
Recycle right.
Registration of Pregnant Mothers
To help families prepare early for their baby’s baptism, we invite pregnant mothers in their second trimester to register with the Parish Office.
