The Motherhouse grounds
Our Motherhouse is located on the site of our Congregation’s founding. Approximately 160 Sisters live on the grounds, about 50 of whom live directly in the Motherhouse convent and the other 110 in the retirement and nursing homes and other facilities. These facilities include:
Christ the King Church
After the first convent church built in 1881, today's St. George's Chapel, soon proved to be too small, Christ the King Church was built in 1928/1929 and consecrated on July 25, 1929 by the then Nuncio Pacelli, later Pope Pius XII.
Adoration Chapel
Beginning on July 25, 1953, perpetual adoration of the exposed Blessed Sacrament has been held in our adoration chapel (also known as St. Francis Chapel). This privilege was granted to us by Pope Pius XII.
Cemetery
Our German Sisters are laid to rest in the cemetery on our convent grounds. The grave of the foundress of our Congregation, Mother M. Anselma Bopp, is located directly by the large cross. There is another large cemetery for Sisters in Fürstenau-Schwagstorf.
