The former convent at the former Paul C. Schulte High School in Terre Haute, Indiana, has been razed. It once was home for many Sisters of Providence of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods who taught there. Amid the piles of rubble, a well-sealed box was found, containing memories of the groundbreaking ceremony and the era around 1958 when construction began.
One Sister of Providence who lived there and was teaching at the school when construction began is still alive. Sister Estelle Scully has good memories of her years there and she remembers how thankful she and the other sisters were for the then-new facility. You can read the account of the contents of the "time capsule" and Sister Estelle's comments in today's Tribune-Star. Here is the web site: www.TribStar.com.
