Here’s some more information about the Rogation Guild:

Our name: "The Rogation Guild." Rogate coming from the Church's celebration of Earth Day, or what is called Rogationtide. Rogation Days are the three days before Ascension and are penitential days of prayer. They are also the days that the parish historically went about in procession beating the bounds, and blessing the fields. 

Our patron is Saint Isidore the Farmer, a Spanish saint who is celebrated in the Anglican Communion. 

Our mission statement: "And the Lord God took the man and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it."

Our rule of life: As Guild members we commit to include prayers for the right use of God's creation and preservation thereof in their prayer life, and to let the Grace given us inspire us to work for environmental justice.
