Capital Campaign:
|
|
Septic systems are not usually a favorite topic of conversation, but ours was 114 years old.
The antique system served the Convent, St. Marguerite's, and two employee residences for many years, and it finally reached the point where it was in critical need of replacement. |
In late July, construction began on our new septic and it is now nearing completion.
Our new septic system will help sustain our ministry of hospitality for many decades to come. Thank you for supporting our ministries of retreat and spiritual direction which are needed more than ever in today's world. |
