The St. Ignatius Environmental Justice Committee, Antiracism Task Force, and Young Adult Ministry are co-sponsoring a Litter Pilgrimage on 21 July at 11:15 AM, where we will walk a rectangular course of less than two miles in our neighborhoods. Exercising the Jesuit mission of advocacy, education and action, while prayerfully collecting trash/litter as we go, we will reflect upon key elements of Pope Francis' Laudato Si', Franciscan and Ignatian spiritualities, and Catholic Social Teaching to become aware of our immediate environment (both ecological and social) and to discern how we are being called to act. 

Children are welcome as long as they are accompanied and supervised by a parent. We will not provide supervision to any children. 

We will meet at the native garden on Calvert Street, in front of the Parish Offices, at 11:15 a.m.  Free parking is available for this event on the street or in the Maryland Dept of Transportation state highway lot at 707 Calvert Street, Baltimore Md. 21202.  The lot is on Center Street, across from the Merritt Athletic Center. Please bring gloves.  Grabbers and bags will be provided, but if you have either, please bring them.  All are welcome to light refreshments in St. Ignatius Rectory at the Pilgrimage's conclusion.

Please RSVP to Theresa, chair of the Environmental Justice Committee at [email protected] if you will join us.  We hope to see you there!
