On February 5 and 6, 2021, the Green Team held a Fair Trade Chocolate Sale to support farmers in Ghana.  Pictured here are Green Team members Ian, Karen and Greg Mattison and Marianne Autorino.

On Sunday, October 17, 2021, St. Aloysius Parish celebrated the Season of Creation at the Liturgy of Creation with a blessing of the Pollinator Garden.  Pollinator seeds were also distributed.

A perspective of natural burials and greener funerals was presented by Mr. Robert Prout and Ms. Julia Prout of the Prout Funeral Home.  Members of the parish Green Team and guests were very informed, inspired and motivated! 

The St. Aloysius Green Team participated in an Environmental Open House at the Caldwell Public Library on November 13, 2019 with three other faith institutions and the Caldwell Environmental Commission.  Each group set up kiosks to promote their efforts to increase sustainability.

On December 4, 2018 the Caldwell Environmental Commission presented the Sustainability Award to the St. Aloysius Green Team in gratitude for encouraging the parishioners of St. Aloysius to be more aware of environmental issues and to become more sustainable in their daily lives.  This award was given in the presence of Mayor Dassing and the Town Council!  Congratulations Green Team!
