In preparation for Pope Francis’ visit to Philadelphia, the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, with the assistance of Bartlett Tree Experts, planted a commemorative White Oak tree at Saint Charles Borromeo Seminary.
The September 1st tree planting at St. Charles Borromeo seminary was part of the Plant One Million campaign and coincided with the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation established by Pope Francis to remind us of our role as custodians of creation.
