St. Mary's Convent

Pictured before the addition of the "'62 building" to the campus, this 1959 postcard shows the convent that was built in 1950 to house the School Sisters of Notre Dame who taught at the grade and high schools. 

In 1983, after 33 years in the present building, the sisters moved out. Two Christian Brothers moved into the convent with a vision to develop a faith community and called it the La Salle Center. Supported by the residents of the Fox Valley, the center provided youth retreats and ministry services. Eventually the center was purchased from St. Mary’s Parish and in 1999 its name was changed to the Mount Tabor Center.

As the only staffed youth retreat center in the Diocese of Green Bay, the Mount Tabor Center serves more than 3000 people annually with youth retreats as its primary focus.
