Instead of selling their property, the Dominican Sisters of the Presentation in Paris created a place where families, students and sisters could live together and feel at home.
Congregations of sisters own properties or buildings that are larger than they need or too expensive to keep. But resources exist that can help congregations discern the best future for their land and buildings.
Many U.S. Catholic sisters find themselves in outsized homes and estates. Through the Nuns and Nones Land Justice Project, sisters are learning how to create new land legacies that center racial and ecological healing.
Congregations across the U.S. are transforming their remaining assets, such as land and buildings. Some simply sell what they have, out of need. Others, like the Victory Nolls, are going further.
