The Trinity Square Foundation recently sponsored a block party at the East 22nd Street Poetry Park in honor of Sister Mary Lou Kownacki and Sister Mary Miller, the creators of the park, who both died earlier this year. Their memory was honored with a new plaque that was installed in the park. A tree was planted in Sister Mary's honor--last year one was planted for Sister Mary Lou.

At the block party neighbors, family and friends of Sister Mary and Sister Mary Lou came together for an afternoon of food, fun, music, and poetry.
