The phrase Laudato Si, or Praise Be To You, is repeated throughout St. Francis’ Canticle of the Creatures. Pope Francis uses it to describe our right relation to Creation and he urges each of us to address the climate crisis right now.
Tip of the Week:
Fir Thee Well – Mulchfest runs December 26 – January 7.
Bring your Christmas tree and the Parks Dept will turn it into valuable wood chips that will be used to nourish trees throughout the city. On Chipping Weekend you’ll receive your own bag of chips to use as you please. For a list of locations and to learn how to properly lay the chips, go to: https://www.nycgovparks.org/highlights/festivals/mulchfest
“It is important that the different parts of a city be well integrated and that those who live there have a sense of the whole, rather than being confined to one neighborhood and failing to see the larger city as space which they share with others.” Pope Francis (LS151)
