Fr. Paul Joseph Volk / Pioneer Sisters' Meditation Garden
In 1999, as the Ursuline Sisters of Mount Saint Joseph celebrated the 125th anniversary of the first five Ursuline Sisters’ arrival at Maple Mount, we began an effort to build an endowment for the Mount Saint Joseph Conference and Retreat Center. Donations for the endowment came in the form of donations for bricks for a meditation garden. People from all over the United States and Canada sent donations. We have now filled all the available spaces of the garden with bricks. We are truly grateful to all our friends who have helped us begin the endowment and build the garden. We pray for you every day and hope you will come for a visit to this beautiful garden where so many friends and loved ones are remembered. You are always welcome.
The garden is finished but the endowment continues to grow with the wonderful donations of our friends. With God’s help and yours, it will support the work of the Mount Saint Joseph Conference and Retreat Center for many years to come. The Center is a sponsored institution of the Ursuline Sisters of Mount Saint Joseph and serves as the Spiritual Life Office of the
Diocese of Owensboro.Thank you and God Bless you for your wonderful support and generosity.
