In his message for the 11th World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation 2026 (Season of Creation Sept 1st – Oct 4th), Pope Leo invites us to embrace: “from the desert to the garden, from division to communion and from violence to peace.”

To respond, Laudato Si’ Circle is committed to create a pollinator garden at St. Joseph’s Church.

You are invited to create this pollinators garden. Join us on Sunday Sept. 20th. Pick and choose how you want to participate:

• bring cash to buy books, plants, harvest and seeds
• sponsor a plant/bag of soil or mulch
• donate your surplus garden harvest or cut flowers for the harvest and plant sale.    No book donation please.
• share your ideas and expertise
• volunteer in the project.
