Please note: All events listed here are held at the IHM Motherhouse unless otherwise noted Spirituality Centers Chapel Concert Series for 2011-12 In 1939, the Motherhouse Chapel was built. After serving the congregation for 72 years, the jewel of the Motherhouse is in need of repairs and updates. This necessary work willprovide improvements to the original electrical system, upgrades to aging audio, video and lighting systems, the provision for assisted listening service for those who need it, and preservation and restoration of the extraordinary Mayer stained glass windows. Funds generated from the Chapel Concert Series will be used toward this important project. Flyer for the Chapel Concert Series 3 p.m. The Licorice Chicks
IHM Motherhouse Tours We offer tours of the renovated Motherhouse by appointment. The tour program is facilitated by the River Raisin Institute, a nonprofit organization founded by the sisters in 2003 to run educational programming on sustainability. The focus of the tour is sustainability and the "green design" features of the renovated Motherhouse. The two-hour tour program starts with a video presentation called "The Blue Nuns Go Green," which gives an overview of why the sisters believe sustainability is a moral mandate for the 21st century and the sustainable renovation of their Motherhouse. The video is followed by a guided tour of the Motherhouse and its sustainable design features, including the geothermal heating and cooling system, the gray water recycling system, and other energy efficient and environmentally friendly features of the renovation.
The tour fee is $12 per person for adults and $5 per student.
