The Sisters of St Helena are pleased to announce the recent sale of the Vails Gate NY property and buildings to Congregation Mesifta Ohr Hatalmud. The buildings are the new home of a yeshiva, a Jewish residential school for boys. How joyous for us to now pray for the success of this new faith enterprise! The wood corpus of Jesus and the Lady Statue from our former chapel are safely stored in Augusta, and the rose granite altar and wood cross from the chapel now reside at Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Church in Newburgh NY.

“I do not know what the Order of St Helena will be after all the change we are going through, but suspect it will be as different from what we are now as the community in 1980 was from that of 1945.” Read Sr Mary Michael’s full reflection on "Where We Are and How We Got There".
