Since 2015, members of the All Saints Care for Our Common Home ministry have been working on reducing our parish’s reliance on fossil fuels. We are continuing that effort by installing solar panels on the church roof, a project which parishioners approved last year.

We are happy to say that 27 solar panels will be installed this spring, which will offset all of the church building electric usage.

We are now ready to “kick off” a fund raising event to help pay for the cost of the project, which is expected to be around $34,000. We are inviting parishioners, and friends of All Saints Parish, to donate all, or a portion of the cost of each panel. This donation can be made without, or with a designation in memory, or in honor of a loved one.

You can donate $350 for ¼ of a panel, $700 for ½ a panel, or the full $1400. Smaller donations (under $100) will also be welcome, and the Care for our Common Home ministry will match those donations with our own funds up to $1400. We invite others who’d like to be matching donors to let the parish know at parish@allsaintssyracuse.org.

You may even want to give your donation as a Valentine, February 14, to an environmentally conscious loved one!

To kick off this ongoing fund raiser, you can donate online! Be sure to indicate your name, that it is for Church Solar Panels, and the person you are remembering or honoring with your donation, if you wish to do so.
