TRADITION OF HOSPITALITY

The Sisters of St. Martha were founded to meet the domestic needs of StFX College. With nothing more than their faith, skill and generosity, they made a home for the students and priests of the college. Homemaking became one of the ministry fields to which Marthas applied their pioneering dedication. From the turn of the century to 1994, Saint Martha's convent on StFX campus was home to many Sisters. Today the former "Home of the Marthas", opens its doors daily as a centre of hospitality. Here the Sisters carry on their 120-year-old tradition of service to the Xaverian family through a welcoming Martha presence to all who come.
