150 Years of Nazareth Living Center
When the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet purchased the ground in 1869, that would become Nazareth Living Center, it was a working farm and orchard. In 1872, the first Sisters came to live here, and the farm provided nourishment for the Sisters and dear neighbors both at Carondelet, the Motherhouse, and Nazareth.
As a reflection of the past and as we prepare to celebrate the 150th Anniversary of Nazareth Living Center, three apple trees will be planted on this historical, holy ground.
