The Hospitality and Meeting CenterThis year’s Circle of Friends appeal will support the efforts of the Little Sisters to revitalize an aging building located on their property into a suitable Hospitality and Meeting Center.

On-site meeting space has become increasingly limited as larger rooms have been absorbed into new purposes within the Administrative and Residential Buildings. As well, overnight accommodations which were once located in the Administrative Building are no longer available. The Little Sisters of the Poor, as a congregation, are in need of expanded space for Provincial meetings, retreat stays for sisters from across the country, and weekend and

Sleeping rooms & baths are in need of upgrades.

monthly programs for young women discerning a vocation to religious life.

The opportunity to satisfy these important demands exists in updating an aging building located on campus. Originally constructed as religious housing in 1965, the Little Sisters have used the space for retreats, guest accommodations, meetings and most recently, for nearly a decade, as a convent.

The facility has had limited remodeling except for emergency repairs and occasional painting. Age related deterioration has occurred and the facility is functionally and esthetically very inferior. Because of these important concerns and the on-going demand for the space, improvements and renovations are imperative.

The objective is to energize the existing building making it functional and welcoming for those who utilize the space. There is no doubt that this "repair and redecorate" effort will open up

The Little Sisters of the Poor provide a loving Home for nearly 100 elderly. Care levels include Independent Living Apt., Residential Living, Assisted Living, & Skilled Nursing. Each year the Little Sisters must raise over 60% of their operating costs from donations, events and estate gifts.

This Meeting Room will be refurbished.

new opportunities for strategic and long-term proactive programs of great benefit to the order.

The building will remain the same number of square feet in size with the same configuration of rooms. The first floor accommodates five guests and includes a meeting/dining room and kitchen. The second floor accommodates eleven guests and includes a meeting/dining room and a food service room.

PLACESTAMPHERE

FROM:

The congregation of the Little Sisters of the Poor was founded in Brittany, France by St. Jeanne Jugan in 1839 with the mission to serve the elderly poor. Today 2,700 Little Sisters serve in over 200 homes in 31 countries.

They have served in Southern California since 1905. They provide a loving Home for nearly one hundred elderly. Care levels include Independent Living Apartments, Residential Living, Assisted Living, and Skilled Nursing. Each year the Little Sisters must raise over 60% of their operating costs from gifts, bequests and donated commodities.

The continuation of this ministry is made possible by the generosity of many benefactors who share with the Sisters a deep belief in the dignity of every life and a desire to assist those who are less fortunate in the most vulnerable phase of their lives.
