Refreshments will be served in the San Damiano Room of the Chiara Center at 275 Finch Ave., Meriden, CT 06451.

“We look forward to meeting local residents who have never seen a convent or who have questions about our way of life or who just want to visit. Each of the houses in the U.S. will also hold an Open House on February 8, 2015. Everyone is welcome!”- Mother Shaun Vergauwen, FSE, Mother General
