continue at Fond du Lac Reporter (Some pictures over there)After 160 years Our Lady of Mount Carmel Convent in Mount Calvary will be closing its doors with a final ritual in June.
An auction of the building and its surrounding 38 acres is scheduled for July. Items for sale, to name just a few, include desks, chairs, dressers, lots of shelves and trunks.
To prepare for their final exit, Bauer said the sisters went through a prayerful exercise during chapel in which they went through every room in their minds, recalling all the good memories.
“We will take the memories with us and the beauty of the place, but we also have to let it go,” Bauer said.
