There is nothing like a little light when you are in the dark and need to get information.

Between Sister Sean and our workmen, we now have three new hanging lights in our Sister Services room.

The design is from a piece of furniture that is special to us, and they add beauty as well as illumination to this space. We are most grateful.

It’s been a while since we gave a renovation update, so we’re excited about this recent addition!

No, Clark Kent wasn’t spotted in one of our phone booths, changing into Superman.

Instead, our phone booths are now insulated, so that they are more sound proof. Privacy is regarded as a value here, even during our phone calls.

Do you ever wish you had pockets deep enough to hold all those things that you tend to carry from one place to another not knowing why, and most often, set down and forget where you set them? Some of us Sisters are no different.

Luckily, our workmen have fashioned us a set of cubby holes to keep/store/set our things in when we are away from our bedrooms.

The cubbies even have doors so others can’t see your stuff. Hopefully, this will alleviate our losing valuable things we place on tables, window sills or benches near the doors.

Hopefully, we will remember where we have squirreled away our stuff.

Hopefully, our cubby holes are big enough!
