STATE COLLEGE — Joe Paterno’s wife was surrounded by her children and grandchildren Saturday at the dedication of a $6.5 million campus Catholic center that was named for her.

Sue Paterno and her husband helped to raise money for the center, which features the Holy Family Chapel, meeting rooms and a cafeteria. Sue Paterno said there is still work to be done and pledged to fight to make sure that the center is completed for students.

She said establishing the center was a partnership with her husband. “We did everything that way,” she said. “I didn’t coach, but he didn’t cook.” Penn State’s Catholic Campus Ministry serves about a quarter of the student population as well as administration, faculty and staff.
