The ECI Committee issues two awards in the earlier stages of the journey towards the final Eco-Congregation Ireland Award marking stages on the way – the Awareness Award and the Endeavour Award. Eco-Congregation Ireland will send your faith Community an Awareness Award when you begin your environmental journey and make some progress and when you get a bit further along the road, ECI will present you with an Endeavour Award. After two years you can then apply for the overall Eco-Congregation Ireland Award. For more information please get in touch with ECI at [email protected].
