On the weekend of June 8/9 this year, our Parish is partnering with Catholic Charities Maine to provide e-Waste receptacles at all churches during Mass times to dispose of old electronics in an environmentally safe & friendly way. Bring your E-waste to dispose of. The items collected are old computers & supplies, TVs, monitors & electronics. This is a great way to keep items out of landfills & recycle the materials into something useful. No air conditioners, refrigerators or dehumidifiers are accepted.
Go Green with POTHE!
We will also be promoting paperless bulletins and online giving. As Catholics, we are called to care for the earth and be good stewards of the environment. Save a tree and reduce paper use. Go digital.
“A sense of deep communion with the rest of nature cannot be real if our hearts lack tenderness, compassion and concern for our fellow human beings... Concern for the environment thus needs to be joined to a sincere love for our fellow human beings and an unwavering commitment to resolving the problems of society.” —Pope Francis, "Laudato Si"
“We have to realize that a true ecological approach always becomes a social approach. It must integrate questions of justice in debates on the environment, so as to hear both the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor.” —Pope Francis, "Laudato Si"
“The urgent challenge to protect our common home includes a concern to bring the whole human family together to seek a sustainable and integral development, for we know that things can change. The Creator does not abandon us; he never forsakes his loving plan or repents of having created us. Humanity still has the ability to work together in building our common home.” —Pope Francis, "Laudato Si"
