Father Jonathan Sorensen, pastor of St. Mary’s Church in Wood River wrote a grant that allowed for the planting of 10 trees around the church and rectory. Parishioners and religious education students gathered after the 9 a.m. Mass on Oct. 3 to plant the trees. Barry Burrow, the president of the tree board in Grand Island, provided education and a demonstration about the proper planting of a tree. (Photo by Mary Parlin, WNC)
