RESTORATION & RENEWAL OF THE MONASTERY
Preserving a home of prayer for the generations to come.
For generations, this monastery has been a quiet home of prayer, contemplation and consecrated life. Nearly 150 years of history have been lived within these walls, with countless prayers offered for the Church, for priests, for families and for those who seek God's help.
Today, the monastery faces an urgent need for major repairs and maintenance. The age of the buildings has brought considerable deterioration. Essential facilities require renewal, old structures need repair, and the monastery needs improvements that will allow the Sisters to continue their vocation in a safe and suitable environment.
These works are more than repairs to a building. They help preserve a place where prayer can continue.
THE WORK UNDERWAY
Restoration is already taking place.
The photographs below show some of the repair and renovation work currently being undertaken within the monastery.
WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE
Essential works for an ageing monastery.
The project includes urgent repairs and improvements required for the continued life of the community.
Repair of old buildings
Restoring ageing portions of the monastery and addressing areas that have deteriorated over time.
Structural & general maintenance
Carrying out necessary repairs and maintenance across the older sections of the complex.
Renewal of essential facilities
Improving the practical spaces required for the Sisters' daily life and community needs.
A LIVING HERITAGE
The walls carry a history of prayer.
The monastery is not simply an old building. It is a place shaped by generations of Carmelite life—a place where silence, prayer, work and intercession have continued year after year.
Preserving this home means helping to safeguard the setting in which that hidden vocation continues.
“The walls may need repair, but the prayer within them continues.”
