Finding God in Nature She can be seen studying animals on the trail, or answering questions of those interested in birding. A lifelong environmental enthusiast, Pat Bartolo, SCN, has often volunteered as a nature camp counselor. Her love of nature and strong advocacy directly ties into Laudato Si’ and the commitment by the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth in caring for the environment Often when members of the Congregation come together to discuss how they might further their efforts, Sisters say she is among the first to come up with forward thinking ideas. Sister Pat developed her love of nature, and particularly of birding from her father. She recalls enjoying her time with grandparents as they raised chickens and tended gardens. She tells of how she would walk about the chickens, or would wander into the garden and pluck cucumbers to eat right off the vine.
