A message from the Sisters of CharitySubmitted by Sisters of Charity Communications OfficeThe Sisters of Charity Motherhouse is now being dismantled.The building hasn’t served the Sisters’ needs for many yearsand in early 2008, it was announced that the most viable optionwas deconstruction.This was the third Motherhouse for the internationalcongregation based in Halifax. When the building was openedin 1959, it was the largest structure east of Montreal. It wasdesigned to accommodate 900 Sisters and Academy studentswith a gymnasium, an auditorium and a chapel the size of aparish church. The Motherhouse served the broader communityin many different capacities as it was renovated and space wasrepurposed over the years.Congregational Leader Sister Donna Geernaert, BSc ’64, saidthat dismantling it “was not an easy decision, but it reflectsour recognition of deteriorating conditions in the building andchanges in the real estate market in recent years. Decisionsaround the Motherhouse building and property need tobe practical ones, based on what’s best for the future ofthe Congregation.”Sisters of Charity MotherhouseMemorabiliaPewter Ornament $15Aitkens Pewter replica of the building exteriorItalian Marble $10A 3” slice of marble from within the buildingThe Sisters of Charity contracted Shannex to construct a newbuilding just across the road from the Motherhouse, at the topof the hill above campus. Approximately 100 retired Sisters arenow living on five floors of a comfortable, attractive new homecalled Caritas Residence. The ground floor of the building isa totally separate space called the Sisters of Charity Centre,housing the “head office” of the Congregation: Leadership Team,finance, communications and advancement offices, and thecongregational archives.Though a few significant elements from the Motherhouse wereincorporated into the new building, most of its contents weredonated or sold. Proceeds from the sale of the more than12,000 auction items will help support Sisters’ projects here andinternationally.The Casavant organ is now installed at St. Agnes Church, Halifax.Stained glass panels are now located at the Sacred Heart Boys’School, Saint Benedict Parish and in private collections. Pewswent to various churches and even a restaurant in Bedford.The green plush auditorium seating found new homes withDartmouth Players, the Yarmouth Regional Arts Council, andEvergreen Theatre in Margaretsville. Paintings were donated tovarious collections including the Musée de Kent in Bouctouche,NB (home town of artist Sister Agnes Berchmans) and theArt Gallery of Nova Scotia. Furniture and hundreds of otherpieces were donated to Parker Street Furniture Bank, Habitatfor Humanity, Metropolitan Immigrant Settlement Associationand other non-profits. Some items went as far as Ghana, in acontainer filled with furniture, books, linens and physiotherapyequipment.The Motherhouse building is being dismantled in a way thatis both environmentally sensitive and economically sound.Materials will be reused to the extent possible. The Motherhousehas played a part in thousands of lives over its 49-year lifespan.Sisters remember its early years when they were novices, andthe many Congregational celebrations. Others reminisce abouttheir time there as students, staff or retreat participants. Theyfound support and comfort at the dePaul Centre, in the Chapel,in visits with individual Sisters.What many people remember is the camaraderie, the warmwelcome, the caring environment. That hospitality and caring isstill there, on the Halifax property and everywhere else a Sisterof Charity lives and serves. The Sisters of Charity mission – theirspirit, their work, their service to others – doesn’t depend ona building.Proceeds from the sale of Motherhouse memorabiliawill help support the work of the Sisters.For more information or to place an order, please contactthe Sisters of Charity Communications officeEmail: communications@schalifax.caPhone: 902 457-3549www.schalifax.caMotherhouse MemoriesThe Congregation is creating a commemorative piece toreflect some of the many happy stories and memories.
