Work at the Mother House
On 24th July, Sr. Pauline, the General Council and Sr. Marie Ducrot (representing the Delegation of France) met with the development company, ADIM and our solicitors to discuss the current situation regarding the refurbishment of the Mother House.
ADIM informed the group that the new owners of the apartments being built in the Mother House will move in on 6th September although some exterior work around the building will continue during September.
It is hoped that the Mayor will formally inaugurate the new building at the end of October. ADIM have gifted the Congregation a piece of stone artwork that will be erected in the garden outside the Scare Coeur community and the Generalate. It will be of opened hands and words etched into the base will reflect our charism of receiving, living and sharing the great love of God. There will be a ceremony to inaugurate this statue at the end of September before the outgoing Council leave France.
It was also agreed that there will be an opportunity for Sisters to view the refurbished building – at a date to be arranged - before the residents move in.
After the meeting there was a tour of the Mother House in order to see how far the work has progressed followed by lunch with those working on the Mother House apartments.
