HOLY NAME OF JESUS - CARING FOR OUR COMMON HOME
-
Holy Name of Jesus Parishioners care deeply about our God-given world... and, we put that care into action!
Several times every year, we organize group actiion to care for our environment!
Projects include activities like removing trash and debris, tending gardens, installing and/or cultivating native plants and pathways, creating or developing sustainable systems, and more - all while using eco-friendly materials. We partner with the City of Redlands, the Redlands Conservancy and other organizations to coordinate projects that will benefit our wider community, too.
When we gather for a project, we root ourselves in prayer, often using materials from Pope Francis'' environmental encyclical, Laudatio Sí. We also provide some environmental education, biodegradeable trash containers, a soap and water hand-washing station, and drinking water. We ask participants to bring your own reusable water containers.
All are welcome to participate; ALL MINORS must serve alongside their parent(s) or legal guardian(s).
To sign up for a project, please click on the registration link below. We will contact you with further details. If you wish to bring minors to a project, please notify us after receiving your first message. We will ask all participants to sign in on the day of the event as well. WE LOOK FORWARD TO WELCOMING YOU!

Tuesday, February 21, 6:30 PM - 8:00 PM
What do Scripture, the Catechism, and Catholic Social Teaching have to say about caring for the environment? What can we learn from saints, including St Francis of Assisi, St Therese of Lisieux, and St Pope John Paul II? Join Creation Care Ministry as we read and discuss Pope Francis’ encyclical on the environment, Laudato Si’ one chapter at a time over the course of the next year. We’ll meet once per month on Zoom to explore the encyclical and what it means to us as people of faith. By the end of seven sessions, we believe participants will have a strong, faithful understanding of the Christian vocation to care for our Common Home, the Earth, and all that dwells upon her. NOTE: Our next sessions will be on April 11th and May 9th. SIGN UP by clicking here.Read More -
