Mount St. Mary’s University of Los Angeles (USA) held its annual pilgrimage for Board members, faculty, and staff from May 30 to June 2. Twenty-seven men and women from the University participated. MSMU President Ann McElaney-Johnson accompanied the group and Shannon Green, director of the CSJ Institute, presented a history of the Sisters of St. Joseph to orient the group to the various sites they would see.

MSMU was founded by the Sisters of Carondelet (USA) in 1925. It is the only women’s university in Los Angeles and one of the most diverse in the nation. The University is known nationally for its research on gender equity, its innovative health and science programs, and its commitment to community service.
