Glenstal’s Energy Master Plan will be published and launched by the monastic community on Tuesday 21st February at 8pm in the Monastery Library, and all are welcome to attend.
To coincide with the fifth anniversary of the publication of Laudato Si’ – Pope Francis’ groundbreaking encyclical on care for our common home – the monks of Glenstal Abbey began to look at ways of caring for our environment and reducing our ecological footprint as part of a series of community meetings called ‘Greener Glenstal’ during the summer of 2020.
This Energy Master Plan is the culmination of work by monks, staff, students, friends and partners of the monastery to see where energy is used, can be saved and even generated at Glenstal.
Representatives of local communities are invited to attend so that knowledge gained on initiatives to save and generate energy may be shared with the wider community.
