Current Activity

FOR WHOM THE BELLS TOLL
We continue to toll the bell at Nazareth at 3 p.m. on the day of a scheduled execution signaling a call to prayer and remembrance. We also rejoice in the fact that more than 100 people on death row have been acquitted of allegations because of DNA testing. There continues to be a movement in the country to declare a nationwide moratorium on the use of the death penalty because of the number of acquittals due to DNA testing, and the world-wide consideration of the death penalty as cruel and unusual punishment.

DETROIT EDISON
The Sisters of St. Joseph, Nazareth, have joined the IHM Sisters of Monroe in their shareholder activity at Detroit Edison. Our work over the past 4 years has been on the issue of global warming, specifically with carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from their generating facilities. We have been in dialogue with the management of the corporation over this time line. Most recently we filed a shareholder resolution in order to push the company to develop benchmarks for the reduction of (CO2) emissions. They agreed so we withdrew the resolution. The report was shared with us Fall 2005.
