The Sisters of St. Joseph of Lyon announced that they were developing a sanctuary and asked for help from local civic and non-profit groups on various environmental projects to create a thoughtful plan for the land.
The Sisters of St. Joseph of Lyon, a Roman Catholic convent in Winslow, are looking to their legacy. They have partnered with local horticulturalists to transform the nuns' 4 acres along the Sebasticook River into a nature sanctuary, and have raised $20,000 toward their $36,000 goal.
