I cannot adequately express the joy I feel
each time I look at the New Ground

Founder's Award citation which I received in
2019. To say the least, it is awesome to see
one's name in the same space as that of



Máiréad M. Barrett



She is indeed a woman of vision and
determination, and a unique example of what
one person can do to change the world in

which she lives.



Congratulations to New Ground on 30
years of Breaking the Cycle of Homelessness!

Happy 30th Anniversary to
New Ground!

It is such a pleasure to see all that
has been accomplished at New
Ground these past 30 years.



Many thanks to everyone that has
been a part of this incredible mission

that Sister Mairead envisioned.



What started as just a concept, has
grown into something exceptional.



We are thrilled to be a part of a

wonderful organization.
