"We have all known the long loneliness and we have learned that the only solution is love and that love comes with community."

About Us
The Convent was originally built in 1929 for the Sisters of the Holy Family of Nazareth, a primarily Polish order of Catholic nuns serving Transfiguration Church & School. As the number of nuns declined, the building eventually fell into disuse and disrepair.
In 2022, it was revitalized and transformed into an art and wellness hub, providing private office and studio space for health and wellness practitioners, artists, and other creatives. It also offers spacious common areas for larger gatherings and events.
The Convent was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2019 when the entire Transfiguration campus received historical status.
