Sharing Sacred Spaces Capital Campaign for Moye
Moye Retreat Center is owned and subsidized by the
Sisters of Divine Providence who are committed to making Moye an affordable
place for groups to use, even though this pledge is a financial challenge for
them. Because of this commitment, each year the Sisters of Divine
Providence subsidize Moye for expenses that are not covered by the groups that
use it. In addition, the Sisters provide funding for any capital
improvements that need to be made to protect and preserve this blessed place.
The Sisters of Divine Providence are now engaged in a
fundraising effort for Moye, "Sharing Sacred Spaces Capital Campaign," to
address these five physical areas that need immediate attention:
1. installing an
interconnected fire and smoke alarm system in all the buildings;
2. painting the
exterior of the main building;
3. replacing the
roof and making other repairs on the historic 1846 St. Louis Church;
4. repairing the
Lourdes Grotto, statues and surrounding area; and
5. installing
central heating and air-conditioning in the dining room and upgrading the
kitchen
The cost for these Capital Improvements is $300,000.
We are asking for your help to raise this amount to preserve and improve Moye Retreat Center. To learn more about this campaign, click here for Brochure. You can help us continue our retreat mission at Moye by making a contribution in the following ways:

Mission Statement
Moye Retreat Center is a ministry of the Sisters of Divine
Providence. Its mission is to provide a gathering place for women and men

The Sisters of Divine Providence are a community

furthering
the mission of Jesus. They minister to people in need, finding light
