Finished at Last!
Six years of fundraising, planning, working, adapting, and sometimes hoping against hope - and now our dreams have become a reality! It’s hard to believe that our Cherish the Flame building and renovation campaign is finally complete. We are now blessed with:
A new tile roof to resist the wildest Kentucky thunderstorms without a single leak
Covered cloister walkways around our courtyard to provide sheltered outdoor space for young and old alike
A new Holy Family Wing with much-needed improvements to community spaces: Chapter Room, community room, exercise room, storage space, and outdoor portico
A new spiritual direction room and a covered porch for our retreatants and other guests
A renovated refectory and serving area to better serve the needs of our inter-generational community while also evoking the beauty and sacredness of this space
A renovated kitchen with more counter space, sturdier cabinets, and room to move around much more easily
Of course, all this would not have been possible without YOU, our dear family, friends, and benefactors. THANK YOU for the countless ways you have supported this project - financially and otherwise - and know that we hold you in our hearts and prayers in a special way! These new spaces are already blessing us and helping us to live our contemplative vocation more fully. May you be blessed a hundredfold by Our Lord, by His Blessed Mother, and by Good St. Joseph!
Gratefully in the Hearts of the Holy Family,
Mother Mary Veronica, CP
and the Passionist Nuns of St. Joseph Monastery
