A view of the refectory pre-renovation
December 30, 2024 - Our temporary refectory, set up in the Holy Family Wing foyer

Temporary coffee and tea station (Holy Family Wing hospitality nook)
January 2, 2025 - the “old” refectory is sealed off with plastic and ready for renovation to begin!
The dishwasher room (door sealed to keep dust out of the kitchen) will be renovated along with the refectory and serving area. Once these are complete, the kitchen will have its turn!

Sister Isabel Maria and Aspirant Collette begin the monumental task of packing up the kitchen, so that renovation can begin in there as soon as the refectory is complete
