Leane Schirmer is the Chair of the Religion Committee of The Museum.
Interior of the Los Angeles Times Library.Visitors to the Burbank campus of Woodbury University will particularly enjoy the institution’s unique respect for the historical heritage of its location. The Los Angeles Times Library, for example, was once used as the chapel for the Villa Cabrini, a boarding school for girls. Established by Mother Cabrini (the first American citizen to be designated as a saint by the Catholic Church), the building’s original stained glass windows have been retained to celebrate its heritage.
The Cabrini Chapel / Los Angeles Times Library is a living example of the amazing history that surrounds us in the San Fernando Valley. It’s your Museum’s responsibility to share our heritage with today’s and tomorrow’s generations.
