Please send at least one representative from your participating faith community for this important introductory workshop.

We will educate and engage the faith communities participating in the 2024 Energy Efficiency Initiative by providing access to expert guidance. Attendees will participate in round-table discussions with experts on energy audits, forming green teams, replacing lighting fixtures, heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, insulation, solar, and provide resources for funding. Presenters include Pastor Damon Lynch III,  Sr. Cj Willie, Ken Wright, Andy Holzhauser, and Flequer Vera.  Our new Program Manager, Cheryl Hutchins, will MC the event.

Benefits of energy efficient buildings include savings from lower utility bills to use for your faith’s main mission, create a healthier interior, and reduced pollution emissions that adversely affect the climate, a win-win for us all.

Catholic Climate Covenant and Laudato Si’ Movement warmly invite you to join us for an online conversation with renowned climate scientist, Dr. Katharine Hayhoe and Fordham professor of theology, Dr. Christiana Zenner.

The world’s attention will be on the critically important climate conference (COP28) that begins on Nov. 30th in Dubai. In this timely discussion, Dr. Hayhoe, Dr. Zenner, and staff from Laudato Si’ Movement and Catholic Climate Covenant will provide insight and analysis on:

  • COP28: The expectations for this global meeting, the key issues the delegates will discuss, and the impact Pope Francis might have when he addresses the delegates on Dec. 2nd.
  • Pope Francis’ Apostolic Exhortation, Laudate Deum, and how it might impact the outcomes of the COP28 meeting.
  • The Vatican’s goals for COP28.
  • Why (and how) the U.S Catholic community should take action (nationally and globally) as the world debates the climate crisis during and after COP28.

Meet with your legislator and tell them why YOU want to end the death penalty.

Registration deadline: July 19

Over the past two years, the No Death Penalty Ohio Coalition built a movement that saw historic legislative progress. Though the legislation that would end Ohio’s death penalty did not pass, we are determined to keep pushing for repeal. It’s a new session and new bills ending Ohio’s death penalty are poised for introduction. Join us at a statewide grassroots meeting to learn about the campaign, ignite or reignite the spark for abolishing the death penalty, and to learn how you can play a role.

We need people like you to join the bipartisan movement to end the death penalty.
