Building at the Abbey

It is with great gratitude to God and to our generous benefactors that we announce the completion of our new addition!  You are now welcome to use our new entrance when visiting us.

This addition includes:      a new entrance and lobby

                                            a dining room for Retreatants and guests,

                                            a conference room for retreat groups,

                                            a commercial kitchen to service both the sisters                                                  and the retreatants

                                             and a bigger dining area for the sisters (to  

                                                 accommodate our growing community!)  The kitchen which the sisters are currently using will be transformed into bedrooms and bathrooms for the sisters—which is what that area was designed for in the original building plans.
