Earth Day at Bethany Place, Wichita, KS - April 22

April 22nd is Earth Day. Bethany Place has invited all to join them on April 22.

For more information, click here.

Also, Parishes are invited to diocesan-wide trash pick-up day. This year, the Care of Creation Task Force is encouraging each parish to hold a trash pick-up activity on Earth Day, April 22. Any piece of trash can travel through storm water drains and find its way to the Gulf of Mexico. The trash clashes with the wildlife living there causing tremendous damage.
