The St. Francis Sustainable Garden Project supports the hungry, at-risk children and their families in our area. We use a garden plot in front of the St. Francis rectory where we grow and harvest herbs, vegetables and flowers. In past years each harvest has produced over 180 lbs. of produce- all delivered to the pantry at Foundations Preschool of Ann Arbor, - child care center for at-risk, low-income families.

The St. Francis Grounds & Botanical Gardens: Several gardens surround the St Francis of Assisi campus of buildings, including, but not limited to, the church, school, rectory and/or parish offices. These gardens need to be a beautiful expression of hospitality, in particular, the entrances, to our fellow parishioners and visitors as well as reflect a statement of our appreciation for God's creation and nature.

THANK YOU: EARTH DAY CLEANUP BY 7TH GRADERS St Francis Garden Ministries: School Involvement (e.g., Confirmation Service Hours)

Many thanks to the seventh graders who cleaned up a lot of the St Francis school and church grounds last week for Earth Day celebration!  Here are the results including some additional cleanup from a couple of other parties for the curbside pick up (Also thank you to whoever hauled all the bags to Winchell Street for this morning's pick up).

Special kudos to Ms Megan DeVerna for liaising with me on this simple but super beneficial project.  Hopefully this will become an annual tradition with the ENTIRE school.

Happy Easter season,
Erich Jensen
