Guestroom Renovation

So many retreatants comment on how clean and well kept the guestrooms and meeting rooms are at Marygrove. It is a credit to the way the Marygrove Staff members care for the building as they conscientiously do their work. However, in recent years, cracks have appeared in guestroom ceilings and walls, the carpet has become matted and stained in hallways, bedspreads have faded and shrunk, blankets have frayed, and the sun has worn the curtains thin. At some point, one has to accept that no amount of cleaning, patching and fixing is sufficient. And something has to be done.

In response to this need, a renovation of the Marygrove guestrooms and halls has begun. Paint, carpet, curtains, comforters, blankets, bed headboards, and some light fixtures... all fresh and new. The second and third floor guestrooms and halls are planned to be renovated first, with the first floor guestrooms to be done later, as they were more recently renovated than the rest. The intent is to keep things simple and modest, but tasteful and of good quality. Colors and fabrics have been chosen that are both warm and hospitable. We want people to be comfortable and at ease when they are on retreat.

If you would like to make a contribution to help support the Guestroom renovation, please contact Fr. Jamie Ziminski at Marygrove. Some friends of Marygrove have already given “seed money” to begin the project, but quite a bit more is needed to complete the good work that has begun. Please consider making a special contribution for this important renovation. For all those who come to Marygrove to deepen their faith, please be generous in your support.
