The center, which reopened in fall 2023, also renovated in line with the tenets of Pope Francis’ encyclical letter “Laudato Si’,” or “Praise be” on the care of the Earth, our “common home.” Notre Dame President Marylou Yam and School Sister of Notre Dame Sister Patricia McLaughlin, chairwoman of the university’s board of trustees, welcomed the guests with remarks before a short program, video presentation, ribbon-cutting and building tour. They were joined by Baltimore City Comptroller Bill Henry, City Councilman Mark Conway and Del. Regina Boyce, as well as Tyler Tate, president of Lewis Contractors. Lewis Contractors carried out the extensive renovation with 21st-century building upgrades. Other dignitaries included Bill McCarthy, Catholic Charities executive director, and Kelley Kilduff, executive director of The Marion I. & Henry J. Knott Foundation. The center’s renovation is part of the university’s $45 million “Go Beyond: The Campaign for NDMU.” Established in 1895, Notre Dame of Maryland University enrolls about 2,000 students.
