What is our Footprint at St. Benedict?

November 17, 2022/ Dennis Powell

You may not believe in Bigfoot, or Sasquatch in your part of the country, but the Carbon Footprint is very much real and it is changing the landscape of our world in ways that we are beginning to see.

Our care for the earth is the number one concern of young people. We can make a difference. We have the technology. The links below are tools to help you learn how to reduce your carbon footprint.

If you want to learn more, talk to anyone on the St. Benedict Earth Ministry Team that is led by Jeff Zahir and they will walk you through learning about ways that you can track.

Saint Benedict Episcopal Church

Worship is like a drama: The clergy, ministers and musicians are the prompters, the people are the actors, and God is the audience.
- Søren Kierkegaard

At St Benedict we celebrate with awe and obligation in a construct called liturgy. Liturgy is a Greek word that means “the work of the people.” Our services are focused through scripture reading, song, prayers, preaching, and the liturgy of the table, known also as Holy Eucharist.
