Tonight as wishes for a happy new year echo around the world, occupants of the St. Scholastica chapel in Duluth will make more specific wishes: prayers for peace, love and justice in the new century. The Benedictine Sisters of St. Scholastica Monastery are joining 40 monasteries around the country to observe the dawn of the new millennium with a twelve-hour prayer vigil from 7 tonight until 7 tomorrow morning. Area religious leaders and members of the public are also invited to attend.
In 2008, Minnesota's voters passed the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment to the Minnesota Constitution: to protect drinking water sources; to protect, enhance, and restore wetlands, prairies, forests, and fish, game, and wildlife habitat; to preserve arts and cultural heritage; to support parks and trails; and to protect, enhance, and restore lakes, rivers, streams, and groundwater.
Efforts to digitize this initial assortment of thousands of historical audio material was made possible through the Minnesota Legacy Amendment’s Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund. A wide range of Minnesota subject matter is represented within this collection.
