New Catholic Convent Opening In Mendham

MENDHAM, NJ — The Sisters of Christian Charity will celebrate the grand opening of their new $45 million convent this Thursday.

Building on the new convent began in June 2016 on the same property as the old one. The new space will house the same functions as the old old: administration, formation, liturgical and community life.

The building has a large chapel with devotional spaces, a hydro therapy center, assembly and meeting rooms, a commercial kitchen, a dining room that fits 120 people, multi-purpose and conference rooms, and a mechanical and electrical building operation plant.

Sisters from the Holy Family Convent in Danville, Pennsylvania will also move into the convent.

The Sisters of Christian Charity are a Roman Catholic papal congregation first founded in 1849 in Germany. They provide Catholic education and healthcare in the area.
