There has been significant work done for the novitiate in Naples, Italy, called the House of Saint Thomas Aquinas. Leaking windows have been replaced, and the facades on one side of the house have been completely redone. Part of the basement is currently being transformed into a large pantry, and the building attached to the convent is being restored. The second floor will be lodging for the sisters' chaplain and other canons, while the first floor will have three guest rooms, allowing the sisters' family members a place to stay while they are visiting. Deo gratias!
