Sister Gemma Del Duca and Sister Mary Noel Kernan, both Sisters of Charity, founded the center in the late 1980s to counter antisemitism, provide education on the Holocaust, and honor Holocaust victims.<\/p>\n<p>Sister Gemma, now 93 years old and unwell, managed to attend the ceremony of the planting earlier in May in spite of her illness, where she was able to see her life\u2019s work culminate in the planting of a tree that will remain for years to come.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When asked what inspired her to found it, Paharik simply said: \u201cSometimes, sisters get an inspiration and they follow it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The center has its roots in the interreligious work that Sister Gemma did. Early on, she began to work with <a href=\"https:\/\/thecatholicnewsarchive.org\/?a=d&amp;d=SLR19890106-01.2.37&amp;e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN--------\" target=\"null\" class=\"null\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Father Isaac Jacob<\/a>, a monk from St. Vincent College, a historic Benedictine college down the road from Seton Hill, who was similarly interested in interreligious dialogue.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"mx-auto\" style=\"width:100%\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/admin.catholicnewsagency.com\/images\/annfrank7.jpg?ssl=1\" class=\"img-fluid\" style=\"null\" alt=\"Portrait of Sister Gemma Del Duca, one of the founders of the National Catholic Center for Holocaust Education at Seton Hill University.
