Welcome to the Nativity Laudato Si Blog!

What is Laudato Si?

Laudato Si is the title of the encyclical written by Pope Francis in May 2015. In his writing, the Pope calls for Catholics all over the world to work together to care for the Earth. This summer, a small group of parishioners participated in a deep study of this encyclical and created a year full of simple ways for all members of Nativity to work towards the common goal of making our world a better, more beautiful place for future generations. Stop by often to keep informed on the work we are doing as a faith community to care for our environment. We look forward to taking this journey with you!

Did you know?

  • Americans spend about $233 million more on electricity during the Christmas Season.
  • LED lights last 18,000-98,000 hours longer than incandescent lights.
  • LED lights save an average of $112 per house during the holiday season on the electric bill.

Do you have old, unused, or broken Christmas lights? 

Don't throw them away!  Take your Christmas lights to any of the Great Parks OR  Hamilton County Recycling.  Check out their webpages for more information and location options.

THANK YOU to everyone who stopped by during Welcome Sunday to check out our energy comparison light display.
