From New Jersey-
Parishioners at St. Mary's Episcopal Church on Third Avenue took 123 steps toward being a greener, more Earth-friendly parish Sunday in the form of a dedication ceremony for 123 solar panels that were installed in August and September.
The Rev. John Sosnowski said Monday that the project will result in parishioners being "better stewards" of the Earth.
"It's an investment in our future," Sosnowski said, adding that once the power-purchase agreement is completed between the church and 95th Street Power Associates LLC, the company that funded most of the project, the panels will become church property.
Sunday's dedication and blessing attracted about 95 people, Sosnowski said.
"I think it dovetails well with the rest of our mission," he said, adding that the parish operates a thrift store in the Rio Grande section of Middle Township as well.
