New Mexico Interfaith Power and Light turns 10 years old this year, and the public is invited to join in a special celebration. The organization, led by Franciscan Sister Joan Brown, has brought together communities of faith in the Albuquerque area and around the state to take actions to protect the environment and care for the Earth.

To celebrate this milestone anniversary, NMIPL has put together a special program, featuring Lyla June Johnston and Pat McCabe, a mother and daughter of  Dine’ heritage. Johnston and McCabe are noted artists and nationally and internationally known women of vision, spiritual strength, justice and love for all creation and communities. They will incorporate ritual and art into their reflections (see video below).
