The Loretto Community Carbon Reduction Fund brings healing to Earth

Jessie Rathburn, Loretto's earth education and advocacy coordinator, introduces the Loretto Community Carbon Reduction Fund in our newest Spotlight video. The fund was started in 2019 in honor of Anthony Mary Sartorius SL who planted numerous trees at the Loretto Motherhouse in Kentucky. The fund has helped support many projects, including a solar installation in Virginia, Indigenous tree-planting in Guatemala and gardens in a low-income neighborhood in Cleveland. Just last year, grants were made to groups in Guatemala, Haiti, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and the U.S.

Jessie Rathburn CoL shares her enthusiasm about the Loretto Community Carbon Reduction Fund. The fund is helping individuals and organizations respond to the cry of the Earth by taking concrete steps.
