CONVENT & CHAPEL

In the beginning, the Cloistered Sisters, though occupying a separate wing, were living under the same roof with the Missionary Sisters.

As both communities increased in number, Mother Mary Michael regarded it as one of her first and most important tasks to provide her religious community with its own home.

On December 9, 1912, the foundation stone for the new “Convent of the Holy Spirit” was laid. The building operations were carried out by the SVD Fathers and Brothers – all skilled artisans in their various trades.

On August 26, 1914, the house was inaugurated and the Sisters moved into their new home.

For more than a hundred years, prayers of adoration, thanksgiving and petition have been soaring up to heaven from this convent and chapel.
