Do one thing today! "Preventing food waste is the most effective way to shrink its impact on the planet. If we avoid producing food that we don't eat, we can save the land, water and energy that would have been used to make it. And awareness is a good first step; according to refed.org/, educating consumers about food waste could prevent 7.41 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions."

Look out for dark data! Get rid of dark data or unused documents/photos/files/emails. Delete five unneeded photos from your phone or one document from Google Drive.
– 99% of data was created within the last 10 years.
– In 2022, about 70 million servers were used to store data. Each one caused the production of 1–2 tons of CO2. In that year, about 20 million of them became e-waste.
– 90% of all data is never accessed three months after it is stored.

Our Lady of Sorrows is the patron of the Sisters of Loretto. The Church honors the Seven Sorrows of Mary, and you are invited to join us in remembering her grace-filled life. As Mary stood at the Foot of the Cross, she remembered how these sorrows filled her life and brought her closer to the God she loved. Scripture tells us the stories of the following events in Mary’s life:
The Prophecy of Simeon that a Sword Will Pierce Her Heart
The Flight into Egypt
The Loss of Jesus in the Temple
Mary Meets Jesus Carrying His Cross
Mary Stands Beneath the Cross of Calvary
Mary Receives the Body of Jesus Taken Down from the Cross
Mary Witnesses the Burial of the Body of her Son.
We could write new sorrows in life just about every day. Consider global wars, families with no water or food, flood waters ruining homes and businesses, water shortages, fires, and the list goes on.
Join the Loretto Community as we stand at the foot of the cross as Mary did, waiting in hope for ways to help the suffering body of Christ. Listen to your heart. What do you hear from your God? How will you answer? Wait with us in trust and hope as Our Lady of Sorrows did.
