After more than a century as a Mankato landmark, big changes may be in store for the School Sisters of Notre Dame campus on Good Counsel Hill.
Citing the need to raise money for its mission, as well as care for its aging sisters, the religious congregation has announced plans to sell the 135-acre campus on a bluff that overlooks downtown Mankato and the Minnesota River. We have developed mutual relationships with generations of people in the Mankato area, the School Sisters said in a statement. Letting go of sacred and treasured spaces is a historic journey for us; one that we are committed to do in prayer, dialogue and collaboration.
