What has served as the
home for the The Sisters of the
Divine Compassion since 2003,
is now on the market.
On Monday, The Sisters
of the Divine Compassion announced
that it has listed the
property at 2800 Schurz Ave.
for sale.
“In 2003, the number of
Sisters living at Preston High
School exceeded the amount of
space available at the school,”
said President of the Sisters of
the Divine Compassion, Sister
Laura Donovan. “The property,
which we purchased from the
Augustinian Priests, served
as our beloved Holy Family
Convent. It not only provided a
home for several of our Sisters,
it also allowed for additional
space for the expanding student
body at Preston High School.
BRONX TIMES R 16 EPORTER, JAN. 8-14, 2021 BTR
Over the years, the Holy
Family Convent became a fi xture
in the neighborhood. We
are very grateful to have been
part of such a wonderful community.
We were truly blessed
with abundant love and wonderful
relationships with Preston
students and staff, local
neighbors and friends.”
In September 2019, the Sisters
of the Divine Compassion
vacated the premises when the
Sisters living in the Convent
moved to assisted living facilities.
Since then, the Sisters
have worked with experts in
property management and real
estate to prepare for the sale.
“It is time for the Sisters of
the Divine Compassion to offer
our beloved Holy Family Convent
to new owners/residents
with our blessings for a bright
future,” Sister Laura added.
