Passersby as well as longtime friends and supporters visited the Cecilian Center for Earth, Arts, and Spirit for a celebration of Earth Day held on April 19, 2008.
Sister Mary Elizabeth Clark, Director of the Center and Sister Dorothy Urban, Member of the General Council of the Sisters of Saint Joseph, welcomed visitors.
The day's events included the opportunity to hear The Universe Story, to build and carry home a birdhouse, to paint pictures of a variety of birds — seen in various moments of flight or rest — to meet the beautiful and friendly exotic birds that members of the Delco Bird Club brought to the event, and to enjoy interpretative dance and folk music.
Friends from the Delco Bird Club brought their feathered friends to the Center's Earth Day Celebration.

Center supporters Margot and Bill Zuccarello helped the Garden Circle begin a new

The Cecilian Center for Earth, Arts, and Spirit is a sponsored work of the Sisters of Saint Joseph.
Sister Mary Elizabeth Clark thanked the friends of the Center whose gifts of time
