“The environment for me is the place where I live, work, and connect with the Creator Spirit who dwells in the depths of my being and in all that surrounds me. GreenFaith nourishes me with its message of care for the Earth as a behavior central to all faith communities,” says Marie Savoie. Marie is co-founder of St. Mary’s Catholic Church’s Environmental Committee which, since its founding in 1994, has been one of the most active Catholic groups on the environment in New Jersey. Marie has helped organize beach cleanups, water quality testing, over ten Environmental Expositions, the use of environmental liturgies, speaking engagements, an energy audit, and other environmental activities at St. Mary’s. “Working with GreenFaith places me in a larger community which enriches me by giving me the chance to meet others who share similar goals, dreams and visions,” she says. “It helps me connect more deeply with the Spirit through nature and to be a voice for those who are victimized by environmental injustice.” “As a Catholic Christian Community, St. Mary's primary purpose is to help its members center their lives around God,” says Marie. “The environment provides a place where we can tend to that relationship and shape ourselves into compassionate, reverent hospitable persons.” << Back to GreenFaith Members in Action
