With your generosity, we have reached $5.5M pledged for the Motherhouse Campaign - thanks be to God! We accepted a challenge grant from the Mabee Foundation of Tulsa, OK to raise $6.7M by May 25, 2023. They have generously offered an additional gift of $250,000 if we can rise to the challenge and raise the remaining $950,000! Will you please consider helping us rise to the challenge? Donate Today!

After interviewing several architectural firms for the Motherhouse project, we are pleased to introduce our selection, Luddeke Architectural Design Group.

We were especially impressed by Mark’s knowledge, experience and creative suggestions on how to improve our initial conceptual design, as well as the small size and style of his firm. Mark has also agreed to assist our committee in the selection of a general contractor who will provide pre-construction services and a guaranteed maximum price contract before the start of construction.

After considerable research, consultation and discernment we have determined to build the Motherhouse on the property we own in Violet, Texas. The Sisters currently have 3 houses and 12 Sisters on the property which is half way between Corpus Christi and Robstown on Hwy. 44, and about 10 miles from our original location at Our Lady of Corpus Christi, OLCC.

The main factors in our decision to change locations from OLCC to Violet are: inability for the Sisters to own the land outright at OLCC, presence of pipelines, especially the major natural gas pipeline that runs through the middle of the preferred location, and Violet provides more flexibility and potential for development.
