The Sisters of St. Martha Spirituality Center celebrated Earth Day at St. Pius X Church in magnificent fashion with a musical evening of earth-centered instrumental and vocal music. There were delightful selections like “I Meant To Do My Work Today”… but a brown bird sang in an apple tree, a butterfly flitted across the field and a robin is calling me…played and sung by an accomplished harpist and singer. Other selections included “Heavens Gate,” “Sea People”, “The Hills Are Alive With The Sound of Music,” “Colour of the Wind” and a musical rendition of “Laudatio Si” presented by a number of different individuals and groups. It was delightful! You can find the Harpist at: www.Youtube.com/user/quinnlana
Fr. Daniel Berrigan, S.J. died April 30th at 94 years of age. He was a peacemaker, a peace teacher, a peace activist and a prolific peace writer for the past 60 years. His death made the front page of the New York Times and will be in every Catholic paper around the world. The obituaries give many of the details of this faithful priest’s long and impressive life. I would like in this paper to write an open letter to a man whom I consider a mentor and a friend.
