Today is the Feast of St. Clare of Assisi, and what better way is there to celebrate than with butterflies beautifully emerging from their chrysalis and a container being shipped to Ukraine?
On April 22, the Mission Outreach Laudato Si garden was blessed and began growing shortly after. We made sure to include many native plants that would help sustain our birds and pollinators, and today we had our first four butterflies hatch. They thoroughly enjoyed the garden after a weeklong sleep.
Today was also the third container in a row that has been shipped to Ukraine in the last several weeks. We are so fortunate to have such an amazing group of volunteers who thoughtfully prepare each box that make up the hundreds in each container, and today the Monday morning group was able to also be a part of the container blessing.
