Green Team

LAWN CONVERSION PROJECT at ST. WILLIAM

We are replacing the strip of lawn along El Monte on the St. William campus with colorful, drought-tolerant, low maintenance plants to conserve water, save money, and add beauty.  The project was conceived by the Green Team and supported by Fr. John and the staff.

The project is one way that we are caring for creation, as Pope Francis has encouraged in his encyclical, Laudato Si’. Click below to find out all the details of this project , including a complete list of plants.

Learn More About the project

The conversion of a thirsty lawn to a garden that conserves water is well underway! Plants are in the ground and we need to cover their cost. Consider a donation in honor of someone as a Christmas or New Year gift. Donations of any amount may be made to St. Nicholas and St. William Catholic Parish earmarked for the Green Team account ~ mail a check or give by text or online. Every gift is appreciated!

Text the word PLANTS to 650-200-2585 and give any amount using your mobile phone!

About the Green Team

Inspired by Pope Francis’  2015 letter on the care of creation and principles of Catholic Social Teaching, the Green Team seeks ways to save energy, manage waste, and consume less.  The first project is the new waste bins in sets of three: compost, recycle, and landfill.  If you would like to participate in these efforts contact Karen Shea-Daley at k.shea.daley@mindspring.com
