Earth Month 2021
Welcome to Saint Mary's 2021 Earth Month. We offer this space as a means to facilitate community and dialogue around this year's theme - Restoring Our Earth.
Saint Mary's monthlong celebration of the environment will be almost all virtual again this year. Saint Mary's will honor the 51st Anniversary of Earth Day through a series of talks, discussions and initiatives. Our intention is to create a space to come together in dialogue to share ideas, see familiar faces and discuss ways to restore our common home. See below for a list of internal and external events.
