Mr. Matt Widdoss witnesses a history-making moment as Sister Anne Myers (left) gives Sister Mary Elizabeth Clark the key to the newly-renovated SSJ Earth Center. Sister Mary Elizabeth will serve as director of the Earth Center.
The restoration of the House of Loreto, where the Earth Center is located is nearly completed.
In line with the SSJ Strategic Plan, desire to "embrace the lens of sustainability, with its focus on the common good, as the guiding principle for planning," stood at the forefront as earth friendly choices regarding heat, light, water, patio garden and more, moved from dream to design to reality.
The SSJ Earth Center will be formally dedicated on June 12, 2010.
The hopes and dreams of the Earth Center and actions already underway undergird the celebration as we mark the 40th Earth Day celebration.
Sisters, who visited the office in the loft, admired the oak railing and the restored stairs.
Sister Mary Elizabeth greeted visitors during the 30th Anniversary celebration of the Commission for Justice. Sister Linda Lukiewski was among those who who stopped by.
As Assistant to the President for Sustainability, Sister Mary Elizabeth will work closely with
President Sister Carol Jean Vale and the Chestnut Hill College Community.
