Dorothy Stang Legacy Continues ...
During the past year, the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur embarked on a special journey by remembering Sister Doroty Stang on the 15th Anniversary of her martyrdom in Brazil.
In the town of Anapu, Brazil, in the Wild West of the Amazon, a little girl said to the man handing out posters with an image of Sister Dorothy Stang, “I want one, too.”
Over the past ten months, the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur have been engaged in the Sister Dorothy Stang 15th Anniversary Rememberance project with the theme, “Her Legacy endures in us,” This project, which remembers Sister Dorothy on the 15th anniversary of her murder in Brazil, began on February 12, 2020 and will continue through February 12, 2020 and will continue through February 12, 2021. While this anniversary is a time to remember, it is also time to look forward and consider the ways in which Dorothy’s legacy will continue into the future.

Megascops Stangiae: New Species of Owl Named in Honor of Sister of Notre Dame de Namur Dorothy Stang
A newly-discovered species of owl living almost 4,000 miles from Dayton has just been named after a Dayton native. Sister of Notre Dame de Namur Dorothy Stang, assassinated in 2005 by henchmen of Brazilian cattle ranches, fought to protect the rainforest and families practicing subsistence and sustainable farming. Now, in that same rainforest, scientists have discovered a new owl - the Xingu Screech Owl, the scientific name for which will be Megascops stangiae.
A year after the martyrdom of Sister Dorothy Stang in 2005 in Boa Esperança, Pará, Brazil, the Stang family, during their customary family reunion, dedicated a large stone with a bronze plaque in Dorothy’s memory at Calvary Cemetery in Dayton, Ohio.

We are happy to share the discovery of a new species of a screech owl in the Amazon rainforest named after our martyred Sister of Notre Dame de Namur Dorothy Stang. A native of Dayton, OH, and a graduate of Julienne High School, Sister Dorothy taught in Illinois and Arizona before beginning her life’s work in the Brazilian Amazon fighting for the rights of people in poverty.
The Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur in the United States and across the globe continue to share Sister Dorothy's story and ministry and encourage sisters, associates, colleagues, friends old and new to advance Sister Dorothy's legacy in a world that is crying out for the healing presence of God and an appreciation and respect for all of creation.
