St. Martin's Climate Action Team
St. Martin's third Community Engagement priority is climate change. St. Martin's Climate Action Team is a group of people concerned about global warming and seeking a prayerful and hope- and faith-filled approach to solving this problem. We offer programs, liturgies, and actions with the goal of lessening our collective impact on this beautiful planet.
We are affiliated with Pennsylvania Interfaith Power and Light. For more information, please contact Kathy Greely at [email protected] or Jess Ballenger at [email protected].
