Renovating the Convent – Progress Report

Posted on Monday, August 24th, 2009 in Restoration Updates

These recent photos speak for themselves: Enormous progress was made last week in renovating the living quarters for the sisters of the Adorers of the Royal Heart of Jesus Christ Sovereign Priest in anticipation of the imminent first arrival of Sister Marie of the Love of God.  The kitchen (not shown) is largely finished, while work continues in the bedrooms and bathroom.

Friends of St. Francis de Sales Oratory is deeply grateful to all the volunteers, including many families, who have contributed countless hours of spirited labor to this effort.  We are also deeply indebted to BELFOR Property Restoration, whose professional expertise, efficiency, and quality workmanship shine through in these photographs.

The renovation work speeds ahead in various sections of the Convent.  The continuing, generous support of all our benefactors is also evident in photos showing the work in progress, below:

    Congratulations to the Institute and the Oratory! What a blessing to have more “new” Sisters arriving in St. Louis.
