go watch that ceiling in the moonlight...

ive seen that board erase and re written.....

there was chalk in there, i signed the board bottom right corner STZ

the lady that hung herself in that tower is a true story but never documented because she was and african american who was acused of being a witch and was condemed to death in the tower, there were reports of the tower being locked up and nailed shut for multiple years when the school was still being used and to this day there are thing in there that would make you agree with me, just be very very careful because the old rotten wooden tower is waiting for another victim

ive visited this school many times and have every reason to believe theres alot more in there then just old school equipment and cold air. i have also heard stories from some old timers in goshen about a priest shooting himself and another who held a boy against the big furnace in the basement until he was very badly burned. i have seen and read it all about this place but the only way to see for yourself is to go there at dusk and stay till dawn alone, no cameras, no recorders no nothing . go in the church and watch the paintings on the ceiling, in the day light you cant see anything, moonlight like a new painting..... just 1 of the many encounters ive hade

Can anyone tell me if there was a Father Tomas, or Brother Thomas, or something like that here at this school. I'm looking towards the 60s, but , if there was a significant Father/Brother Tomas here, I would be interested to know.
Thank you.

@Heidi-I agree with you; it's a shame that people go in and vandalise abandoned buildings. It takes away the natural beauty of decay and betina. I especially despise the profane graffiti that exists on some of the walls.

To Jim (7/19/08) : I hope the holy artifacts went to other chapels, but the pews are dismantled and stacked against a wall. Not sure if it's all of them and whether or not they were taken apart or just fell apart/broken.

The link by Jim H is great, I never got to see the mansion standing, only parts of the foundation walls in what is now the park. But I've been inside the school building and chapel and it's a horrible mess. I wish kids didn't feel the need to destroy old things just because it's abandoned. There were still shelves full of books in one room that are now strewn across the floor.

Too bad the statue is gone-probably a Blessed Mary statue was there. I love grottos-they are so peaceful and meditative. Yes, I'm a good Catholic girl! : )

I wish I could have explored here-it looks so peacful.

Wow!

I love the fall colors in the background!

It's a real shame that they let this building go-look at the incredible detail on that fireplace mantel-so pretty!

Another beautiful fresco! It's a shame that so many of these religious schools have closed. Also, it's a shame that there are so few vocations to the religious life.

Wonderful picture, Wonderful Saint!
