FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONSHow much will it cost?The entire project will cost $16 million.
Why is it needed?w To provide quality health care services for our elderly Sisters in need of assistance.
w To maintain an active community, prayer and social life.
w To provide safe and handicapped accessible living spaces (bedrooms, bathrooms and showers) so that our staff can properly care for our Sisters.
w To replace and renovate major elements of the building’s internal infrastructure that are not functioning adequately, and are not in compliance with current Life Safety Code standards.
Where will the Sisters live while the renovation is being done?The Sisters will temporarily live in the Renewal Center, which is being modified to meet their needs. The Renewal Center staff and operation has moved to the Montfort Spiritual Center in Bay Shore, NY.
When does the renovation project begin and when will it be completed?The Sisters plan to move to the Renewal Center in the early winter. Work will begin on the convent (Building 3) in January of 2017 and is planned for completion in August of 2018. The Sisters will return to the renovated convent in Building 3 in the fall of 2018.
With deep roots in the Brooklyn, Queens and Long Island communities, the Sisters of St. Joseph have ministered since 1856. The
motherhouse in Brentwood was completed in 1903. The convent used to house hundreds of young Sisters, eager to minister to the needs of the "dear neighbor" wherever they were most needed. Now, we must use the space in the convent to care for a rapidly growing number of elderly Sisters who are in need of care. The current spaces (bedrooms, bathrooms, showers, etc.) are not adequate for the care of the elderly. Please consider making a gift of financial support to make St. Joseph Convent a safe, comfortable and prayerful space for our elderly Sisters.
