St. Vincent's 1845 Foundation

Renovation Update: Week 1

Exciting things are happening inside the historic St. Vincent's Convent building!

This week marked the beginning of renovations to the chapel, parlor, and hallway spaces, a project made possible through the support of the St. Vincent's 1845 Foundation. The construction team spent the week preparing the spaces and beginning the first phase of improvements.

Over the summer, we'll be sharing weekly updates as these beloved spaces are thoughtfully restored and refreshed while preserving their historic character.

Stay tuned as we follow the transformation from start to finish!

The future of preserving the legacy of St. Vincent’s Academy starts with all of us. 💙

The St. Vincent’s 1845 Foundation is looking for passionate alumnae, parents, friends, and supporters to get involved as we work to preserve and strengthen this special place for generations to come.

We are currently recruiting members for the following committees:

Development Committee – Help identify, plan, and execute fundraising and resource strategies to support the Foundation’s mission.

Communications & Marketing Committee – Assist with social media, marketing, storytelling, branding, and sharing the impact of our work with the community.

Project Evaluation & Management Committee – Help identify, evaluate, and oversee restoration and preservation projects that protect the history and future of St. Vincent’s Academy.

Whether you have experience in fundraising, marketing, project management, preservation, communications, or simply a love for SVA and a desire to give back, we would love to have you involved.

Please email us at [email protected] a short bio on why you're interested. 💙

We are thrilled to share that the raffle was a tremendous success, and the funds raised will directly support the restoration and preservation of the convent at St. Vincent’s Academy and its historic legacy.
Congratulations to our raffle winner, Betty Gorman, SVA ’77, and in an incredibly generous act, Betty has chosen to donate the artwork back to St. Vincent’s.
