Sisters of Life website: Sacred Heart of Jesus Convent is our Holy Respite located in the heart of Manhattan. Since 1999, the Holy Respite has provided pregnant women an opportunity to be nurtured as they live side-by-side with Sisters, immersed in a deeply spiritual setting. This “spiritual tent” allows women a place to rest, to get their feet on the ground again and to grow in their authentic identity as women and mothers. After giving birth, guests are invited to remain at Sacred Heart for about another six months to plan and prepare for a new beginning with their child. Read more here.
