The Music of the Sisters
Elevates the 'Ordinary Time'
Our Chapel, robed in its serene ivory walls and soaring dome, invites us to pause, take in the serenity, and appreciate a bit of tranquility during these 'Ordinary Times,' while the music of the talented Sisters elevates our spirits.
You are welcome to join us for worship Sunday mornings at 10:30 a.m.
Parking is available just outside the chapel entrance.
Our services are open and all are welcome.

One Woman's Journey
Choose Life, Uvacharta Bachayim:
Holocaust Survivors Writings Shared
Writings from Jewish and Christian Holocaust survivors are expressed in the dramatic oratorio Choose Life, with the text being written by Sister Delores Dufner and music written by Mona Lynn Reese. Choose Life combines solos, choruses, and a narrator to express the bitterness, anguish, anger, and sorow, and the need for comfort in our will to choose life over death This oratorio was premiered in 1994 at the Basilica of Saint Mary in Minneapolis, and is now available on a cd in the Whitby Gift Shop.
The Sisters actively support sustainability.
