Current Construction Plans
New Dorm
The original dormitory at Divine Mercy Girls Seminary could no longer meet the needs of its students. Built in the early 1960s to house just 60 students, the aging structure was accommodating 175 girls and had deteriorated beyond repair. To address this urgent need, plans were developed for a new dormitory capable of housing up to 600 students, ensuring a safe and dignified living environment.
In March 2023, the original dormitory was demolished, and construction of the new dormitory began. By 2024, the exterior structure was completed, marking a major milestone in the project.
Phase Two of construction focuses on completing the interior of the building, including electrical and plumbing systems, windows, doors, fixtures, painting, and flooring. In 2025, interior work on the ground floor was completed.
On July 19, 2025, students joyfully moved from temporary hostel housing into the new dormitory, an important and long-awaited moment for both the girls and the Sisters who serve them.
Interior work on the second floor is currently underway. To complete the remaining interior construction on the third floor and fully finish the dormitory, an additional $231,700 is needed. Your support will help provide a safe, dignified, and permanent home for generations of students at Divine Mercy Girls Seminary.
