Transfiguration Creation Care Team

God’s People Caring for God’s Creation

 

The Tranny Creation Care Team formally began in October 2007.  We are parishioners who have come together to encourage parish and individual activities promoting stewardship of God’s creation.  We have adopted the US Conference of Catholic Bishop’s model parish framework (http://www.usccb.org/sdwp/ejp/certificate.shtml) to focus our work.  Down the road, we will apply for recognition from the USCCB.

 

Active Team Members:  Laurie Dimond, Matt Ledvina, Kate Mayer, Eileen Muetzel, Ray Muetzel, Nate Rauschendorfer, Deacon Glenn Skuta (chair), Bill Tingerthal

 

Contact Deacon Glenn at skuta@juno.com or 651-470-7572 for more info or to join in!

  

See our inventory of actions already undertaken and brainstorming of activities we may choose to pursue using the Bishop’s framework.
