- The New Dawn Earth Center in Cumberland, RI was established on September 1, 2006 as a response to the Sisters of Mercy commitment to reverence Earth and work more effectively towards sustainability of life. It is one of two sites of the Mercy Northeast Ecology Project which is supported with funds from Mercy Action, Inc. and the Mercy Northeast Community.
- Our aim is to raise people's awareness regarding the interconnectedness of all life, to assist them in reconnecting with nature and in this way nurture their spirit, and to seek to live more sustainably. It is to educate them about the connection between human beings and the Earth they walk upon. To this end, we offer educational and experiential programs to people of all status, beliefs, and ages.
- The Center comprises a meeting room which "changes face" for each offering, a resource room that lends books and magazines and media to the public, a cozy room for video screenings and discussions, and offices. It sits on 270 acres of land of open space, woods, wetlands and ponds, providing magnificent views and sounds from every angle.
