St Mary’s Towers: John Walker informs us…“In the last Chapter, the new administration was encouraged to pursue and develop further the strategic plans for St Mary’s Towers.  A committee was brought together for this purpose and has met twice to contribute and listen to additional proposals.  Currently, a team of architects is working on a master plan for presentation at the next Council meeting, leading to strategic planning.

An invitation was sent to the province inviting interested members to attend an open meeting, either in person or via Zoom, to listen to their thoughts and ideas for the ‘future of MSC spirituality ministries at St Mary’s Towers’.

The meeting was held last Saturday in the Heart Room at the Towers.”
