St. Philomena's Convent

A Dream Today. A Home Tomorrow.

In July 2024, we lost our convent to mold. Today, we are building again—with hope.

THE SIGN OF HOPE

We Are Growing

In God’s Providence, we lost our convent to mold in July of 2024—but we had already outgrown it!. Barely a week after our evacuation, a young lady asked to enter our Community. The eight cells in our old convent could no longer accommodate our nine Sisters.
