The whole project

Over the past several months, our community has been renovating St. Cecilia's. St. Cecilia's was purchased by the sisters in 1877 and was the first building that our sisters purchased on our current land. The house was originally used as the school, monastery and dorms and has had many uses since that time. The most recent use was as our music conservatory.

St. Cecilia's is currently in the process of being renovated to accommodate more guests to both our monastery and to Sophia Center. It will also be the location of our historical room and other gathering spaces. Today, the crew was putting in the new parking area that will be located behind the building and will offer handicap access to our new space. It is so exciting to see all the pieces taking shape!
