Save the Chapel of the Divine Compassion

The Sisters of the Divine Compassion suddenly have put their White Plains campus – on the National Registrar of Historic Places – on the market. Endangered are an elementary school, a high school and the beautiful Chapel of Divine Compassion. In the chapel is the tomb of the founder of this order, Msgr. Thomas Preston, a priest of the Archdiocese of New York. His famous parish in New York, St. Ann’s, has already been destroyed – will he now lose the chapel that was his final resting place as well? The foundreess is buried in the chapel as well.

Alumnae and others are organizing to save as much as they can. They have the benefit of a video, prepared by the Sisters of the Divine Compassion themselves last year to assist in fundraising!
