Convent needs furniture

The Daughters of Mary Mother of Mercy is expanding its presence in the Archdiocese of Indianapolis and the sisters are in need of furniture donations.

Nine members of the Nigerian-based women’s religious community are now residing in Indianapolis.

Some sisters are living at a convent at St. Bernadette Parish in the Indianapolis East Deanery, where they have resided since 2005. Their expansion has required some sisters to reside at a convent at Holy Trinity Parish in the Indianapolis West Deanery.

The sisters at the Holy Trinity convent are in need of various furnishings, including chapel pews, full-size and queen-size beds, desks and chairs, dressers, wardrobes, bookshelves and televisions.

Those interested in donating furniture should contact Daughter of Mary Mother of Mercy Sister Jennifer Otuonye at 317-345-3419, 317-236-1517 or 800-382-9836, ext. 1517. †
