Over fifty years ago Reverend Philip Garrigan then Pastor, who later became Bishop of Sioux City, invited the Sisters to come to teach in Fitchburg. When the convent, as pictured above, was completed, Reverend Mother Magdalen with a group of Sisters came from New York and established the first convent of the Presentation Sisters in this section. The building, imposing in the simplicity of its architecture is at present the residence of ten members of our faculty.

HOLY AMIE CONYV.EN © Holy Family is the Motherhouse and Training Center for our Sisters. Erected on the highest point of a twenty-acre stretch of land it is a site of special interest for miles around. The construction of this beau- tiful convent was completed in 1941 when the first Mass was celebrated in the newly-dedicated chapel in June of that year. It replaced the former motherhouse, a frame building, which stood on the spot now hallowed by sacred memories, but especially by the picturesque grotto of our Blessed Mother built as a loving tribute to the deceased mem- bers of the community who spent their lives in the cause of Catholic education.
