The Laudato Si Circle here at the Church of St Francis of Assisi has been very busy lately.
On April 27th in honor of Earth Day and Arbor Day they hosted “Let It Begin with Trees” which was both a presentation and a hands-on experience of caring for trees. Assemblymember Tony Simone stopped by to say hello and the group went out into the neighborhood to care for some of our city’s trees. They cleaned up the beds, aerated the soil, hung signs, and laid mulch.
Then on May 25th, a group gathered together for a walk on the Highline. After receiving a blessing from Fr. Joe the group headed out in perfect weather to simply be together in nature and experience this gem of a park in the heart of New York City.
Stay tuned for more events coming up in September.
