Environmental Concerns Committee

October 15, 2019 By Grace Koleczek

The Risen Savior Environmental Concerns Committee is a group of parishioners dedicated to issues related to care for creation. This committee formed as a response to Pope Francis’ encyclical Laudato Si (On Care for Our Common Home). Contact Grace Koleczek or fill out the interest form at the bottom of this page if you would like to get involved.

Most Recent Project

Our committee did a great job spreading the word about Earth Day, which was April 22. You can find our entire Earth Day page by clicking the green button below. Some highlights of our work were creating an Earth Day video with prayer, reflections, tips to be a good steward of the Earth, and artwork from Faith Formation Students. We also dedicated our butterfly and shade gardens as a St. Kateri Habitat! Find our virtual tour on the Kateri Conservation Center’s page here.

Past Projects

Season of Creation Bulletin Series 2020

Annually from Sept. 1-Oct. 4, Christians around the world celebrate the Season of Creation. Risen Savior invited our parish community to engage a different celebratory prayer or action each week. Click here for those archives.

Posters for Sorting Waste

Risen Savior received a grant through Dakota County to reduce trash and instead promote recycling and organics disposal. The Environmental Concerns Committee created posters to help our parishioners and guests properly sort their waste while in our building.

Paris to Pittsburgh Film Showing

In collaboration with InterFaith Creation Care South Metro, in Fall 2019 Risen Savior was a host site for a free film showing of Paris to Pittsburgh, a documentary with inspiring stories of the local, private sector, and community leaders across the U.S. who are continuing to take action to transition to a clean energy economy – regardless of federal inaction.
