Breathtaking, immaculately clean, comfortable and so many more positive adjectives can be used to describe this amazing community! By word-of-mouth, I heard it was fabulous, but I strongly encourage anyone to go and see it firsthand. It by far exceeded any expectations I had…Simply stunning!!

I just wanted to thank the sisters for allowing me on to the farm and convent grounds to grow a garden this year. I looked over the farm area and it looks very suitable for growing a garden. The grounds are also peaceful for spending a day off and getting some outdoor time. I am excited to get started when things warm up a little more.
