Community Service Plants Trees

February 8, 2021 | Media

On Saturday, February 6, Fr. John and the Community Service Council went to the Condominiums on Royal Lane to join Cistercian alumnus Grady McGahan (’00), Director of RETREET with Keep America Beautiful. Together they planted ten trees in an area that suffered a lot of destruction in the 2019 tornados.

We are still hoping to celebrate our annual MLK Day of Service sometime this spring (it was postponed because of covid). When we do, we will plant many more trees in areas of Dallas touched by the tornados!
