Use cloth napkins

Use cloth napkins

If you’ve been to the Jesuit Residence, you’ve probably seen the refectory napkin box that built as a grid of identically-sized wooden cubbyholes providing space for each member of the community to store the cloth napkin he used during meals and they are being washed once a week and/or when get soiled. Napkin boxes like this one are a standard element of Jesuit domestic architecture: one can find them in Jesuit residences across the globe, regardless of differences in local culture or custom. For our Lenten challenge, let us adopt a similar practice by use cloth or washable napkins as a practical way of conserving resources for future generations.
