St. Lawrence Friary Home of the Capuchins Renovation Project Update
|
Thank you! With your assistance, the East Wing of the St.
Lawrence Friary was completed and now serves as a
retreat and meeting center, producing cash flow for the
Friary. With meeting rooms for large and small groups as
well as sleeping quarters with private baths for up to 20
individuals. St. Lawrence Friary, located on the scenic
Hudson River, is an ideal location for spiritual retreats and
corporate meetings. The dining room provides space for
up to 50 people for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
The Capuchin Franciscan Friars are thankful for the
generosity of everyone who participated in Phase I of the
renovations of St. Lawrence Friary.


Phase II of the St. Lawrence Friary restoration is underway. We are currently conduction a campaign to
raise the $1 million necessary to renovate the Infirmary at St. Lawrence. These twelve rooms, 24-hour care
facility was built in the 1970's and has not had renovations since. In addition to roofing needs to stop the
water infiltration, the twelve rooms with adjacent bathrooms are in desperate need for redesign to
accommodate new standards in handicap accessibility.
Additionally, the nursing station will be moved to a more central location in order to have direct access to the
patients. The handicap ramp and masonry work of the exterior of the building will also be addressed, along
with renovations of the kitchen facilities and relocating the fire sprinkler system within the ceiling area. This
work will be started once the Capuchins receive the pledges to meet this cost of the project. Please see our
three year pledge chart that will allow you to maximize your gift to assist us with Phase II. We have listed a
number of naiming/memorial opportunities for your consideration.
