Building is a Moral Act:
Saving Money and the Common Good

On Wednesday July 29 at the offices of the Diocese of Lafayette, there will be a day-long workshop: Building is a Moral Act: Saving Money and the Common Good.

Catholic Charities agencies throughout Louisiana, in cooperation with the Life and Justice Committee (Louisiana Conference of Catholic Bishops) and the Stewardship of the Environment Commission (Louisiana Interchurch Conference), are co-sponsoring this event.  Funded with a $1,000 Climate Change grant from CCUSA, the workshop will present ways that churches and non-profit agencies can reduce both our carbon footprint and budget expenses by implementing more sustainable construction, renovation and maintenance practices in all of the buildings that we build and operate. As part of the workshop we will tour BeauSoleil, an energy efficient "green" house constructed with sustainable building practices.  For more information click here.
