Sisters Leave Convent, Give Back

After 100 years in Ponteix, Saskatchewan, the Sisters of Notre-Dame dAuvergne are selling their historic convent—but not leaving town. Instead, they’re giving back with a $3 million gift to expand the St. Joseph Seniors’ Residence, adding ten new rooms and even planning to move in themselves as they age. This generous act echoes their humble past, when they relied on local farmers for survival. The 1916 convent, now on the market, hopes to find a new life in education or healthcare. The long-awaited expansion opens this fall—a heartfelt legacy of community care. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
