ECO­TIP OF THE WEEK: Open those windows!! On some days you can try opening your windows instead of running the air conditioning. This is especially useful on days when it is not too hot or humid. About 100 million tons of carbon dioxide are released into the atmosphere each year due to air conditioners, with an average of two tons per home. Be sure to shut off the A/C when it is not needed, such as at night or on cloudy days. The less you rely on your air conditioning, the more you save. Sometimes an open window is just as good.

The Pilot is an important voice in the public square that brings you the Catholic perspective on current events.

Inspired by the vision of our publisher, Cardinal Seán O’Malley, The Pilot covers it all — from in-depth reporting on Pope Francis to the good works of Boston parishes.

Each week, The Pilot brings you the stories of Boston Catholics who bring the Works of Mercy to life on a daily basis.

Proclaiming the present Holy Year of Mercy, Pope Francis said he wants to make it evident that the Church’s mission is to be a witness of compassion. “Let us not forget that God forgives and God forgives always,” Pope Francis said. “Let us never tire of asking for forgiveness.”
