During the service, Chloe and Anjali shared the story of how their 9th Grade U.S. History project turned into an Ohio Historical Marker celebrating the life and achievements of Sister Dorothy Stang.

The marker will be publicly dedicated in Fall of 2016, where it will be permanently installed on the campus of Chaminade-Julienne. Congratulations to Anjali and Chloe on this wonderful achievement!
