Respond with sacrificial love this Lent
and uphold the cause of the poor
Our Sacrificial Alms Goal — $13,000
($325/day for 40 days)
Every Plant-based eating day honors God’s creation and saves (a little) of your “green” too. Return that to the Lord as a sign of repentance, love and desire to follow him. According to a study in the Journal of Hunger & Environmental Nutrition, eating plant-based saves about $750 annually, which is about $82.19 for the 40 days of Lent. That isn’t a lot, as meat is produced cheaply with industrialized farming methods that keep prices relatively cheap, but carry a high environmental cost (especially beef and lamb). However, unless you are substituting meat with pricey plant-based burgers or expensive imported raspberries, this savings over 40 days can be a gift to the poor. Please consider combining your savings with an additional sacrificial gift to the Greener Lent Cross Catholic Outreach Water for Life Campaign. Together, our community can make a big difference this lent.
