Exactly one month ago, we received our occupancy permit for the new addition! It was a sign of Divine Providence that we officially “moved in” on the feast of Saint Louis Marie de Montfort. What a blessing!
On that day, classes resumed after the Easter break, and the teachers welcomed very excited students into the four new classrooms. Meanwhile, the religious community moved tables and chairs from the old refectories to the new building, and the new kitchen officially began functioning.
Although the new building is just a wall away, this move marks a significant change and milestone we had all been looking forward to. Already, the new building adds tremendously to our life and apostolates. While there is still much work to do over the summer, such as merging the two buildings, most of the work is complete and looks beautiful. By September, we expect the entire building to function as planned on every level.
We are thankful to God for His great blessings, to the Blessed Mother for her love and protection, to Saint Philomena, who was the patron saint of this project, and to Saint Louis Marie, who continues to inspire us to give all to Jesus through Mary!
