SUMMARY:Poetry Reading Celebrating Louisiana's Immigrants and Refugees
DESCRIPTION:Deacon Charles deGravelles will be joining other writers and musicians at a Poetry Reading Celebrating Louisiana’s Immigrants and Refugees on Saturday\, October 3\, 10 am to noon at the East Baton Rouge Public Library–Goodwood Branch. \nThe event\, jointly sponsored by the Poetry Society of Louisiana and the Louisiana Organization of Refugees and Immigrants\, is free and open to the public. \n“So many of us have felt helpless as we’ve watched the often unfair treatment of our immigrant friends and neighbors\,” deGravelles said. “The reading is a wonderful way we can come together to celebrate these wonderful people by honoring their cultures and heritage\, and by giving voice to their struggles and sacrifices.” \nThe reading will include work by Louisiana poets\, student poets\, and immigrant storytellers describing their often perilous journeys to get to the United States and their experiences on their way to becoming citizens. \nThe library is located at 7711 Goodwood Blvd\, Baton Rouge\, LA 70806.

SUMMARY:Blessing of the Pets
DESCRIPTION:St. Francis Episcopal Church and Immaculate Conception Catholic Church are excited to announce their annual St. Francis Day Pet Blessing. This heartwarming event invites all pet owners and their beloved animals for a special blessing\, as well as an opportunity to contribute to a local cause. The Pet Blessing will take place on Saturday\, October 3rd at 9:30 am at St. Francis Episcopal Church\, 726 Maple Street\, Denham Springs. \nAll community Blessing members and their pets are welcome to attend this free event. In honor of St. Francis of Assisi\, the patron saint of animals\, pets of any and all kinds will be blessed. Please ensure all pets are safely contained or leashed for the comfort and safety of everyone attending. \nIn addition to the blessing\, the event will feature a pet food drive to support the Denham Springs Animal Shelter. Donations of Purina Cat\, Dog\, Puppy\, and Kitten food are preferred. The shelter is also collecting newspapers\, old sheets\, and towels to support their daily operations.\nThis annual event serves as a bridge between two churches and a symbol of unity within the community. Whether furry\, feathered\, or scaled\, all pets are invited to participate. Pet photos and stuffies are also welcome. \nSaint Francis of Assisi is the patron saint of animals and the environment because he is known for his love of all creation. Around his feast day\, October 4th\, we bless pets as a way to mark this day and honor his spirit. Because St. Francis also cared deeply for the poor\, we will also be collecting pet food on Saturday for Denham Springs Animal Shelter. Come join us! (Photos and stuffies welcome\, too!)

SUMMARY:Watersheds and Climate Change 101 Webinar: Terms and Tools for Sparking Stewardship 
DESCRIPTION:Celebrating the 2026 Season of Creation! \nWatersheds and Climate Change 101 Webinar: Terms and Tools for Sparking Stewardship\n \nPresenter: Blair Morrison \n\nDescription: Blair will give an overview of climate change processes\, how they affect our watersheds along the northern Gulf coast\, and how we can effectively communicate this knowledge to encourage local environmental stewardship. \nBlair Morrison is the Communications and Tech Specialist for our eco-region. In her day job\, she works as a marine and estuarine ecologist\, specializing in northern Gulf ecosystems. Blair is also a certified climate and ocean change interpreter and is excited to share her skillsets with the eco-region! \nThe 2026 Season of Creation takes place from September 1-Oct 4\,2026.

SUMMARY:Education for Ministry (EfM) Registration Open
DESCRIPTION:EfM is a small\, intimate seminar class in which a group of fellow learners gathers regularly to explore life through three lenses: Scripture\, Church History\, and personal experience. Over four years\, participants read deeply\, think carefully\, and most importantly\, learn together. Using a practice called theological reflection\, we connect ancient texts to the actual texture of your life today. No theology degree required. No prior knowledge assumed. Just a willingness to show up and go deeper. \nNot ready for a four-year commitment? EfM has recently introduced Wide Angle\, a one-year experience designed as a gentle on-ramp into the kind of deepening discipleship and adult learning that enriches your faith\, your relationships\, and how you move through the world. It can be taken on its own or alongside the traditional EfM program. \nTrinity will host two EfM classes this September: Mondays from 9:15-11:45 AM and Wednesdays from 9:15 – 11:45 AM. Space is limited\, and these groups become something rare: a community of people who have thought hard things through together. Monday class is at Christ Church Cathedral and Wednesday class is at Trinity Episcopal Church. \nIf you’re curious\, that’s enough to start. Reach out to Maria Elliott at melliott@trinitynola.com for more information. \nAll are welcome.
