The reconfiguration of the American Provinces of the Daughters of Charity means a re-purposing of St. Joseph’s Provincial House in Emmitsburg. The Daughters are now hosting a Facebook page intended to serve as an official source of news about the necessary renovations.
The house was originally designed to be the location of the residency, leadership, chapel, and ministry preparation for the Daughters of Charity.
Since then, the magnificent chapel has become a Minor Basilica dedicated to Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton and to where she has been laid to rest, St. Catherine’s Nursing Center has leased an area of the house to provide nursing care and rehabilitation to lay people, and retired Daughters of Charity have come to reside in the house (St. Vincent’s Care Center for nursing care, and Villa St. Michael for assisted living).
