There are shared spaces for the residents which include a community dining room, living room, prayer room, 2nd-floor reflection patio, laundry facilities, and recreation space for exercising and relaxation.
A central kitchen run by the Sisters provides meals to those residents who wish to eat with the other residents.
GROTH Design Group assisted in the review of their existing Boy’s Home Dormitory to see if it would be a viable option for repurposing.
