   1. Motherhouse

      The 1900 Motherhouse of the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word was designed by architect Alfred Giles to house the convent, novitiate, and College and Academy of the Incarnate Word. Here, the Sisters lived, prayed and worked. It was the home to which they returned from the missions. 
      
      In 1988, the Motherhouse was razed to make way for a new ministry of the Congregation, the Incarnate Word Retirement Center, now known as the Village at Incarnate Word.
