The Motherhouse--home to the Dominican Sisters of St. Cecilia Congregation--has stood as a prominent landmark in Nashville, TN, since 1860. While the structure was originally built to house a private girls' academy, today it is home to more than 200 Sisters. And with the congregation growing by almost 50% in the past 14 years, the Sisters were in dire need of more space. As a result, an approximate 115,000-square-foot addition, including a new chapel, was recently built. The chapel not only provides enough room for all the Sisters to gather and pray, but it is also a beautiful display of stone craftsmanship.
