Bay View Villa is a distinctive and charming residence on the seven-mile beach of Saco Bay. For more than fifty years the Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, also known as "Good Shepherd Sisters of Quebec " have shared our beautiful convent by the sea with guests.
The Sisters at Bay View Villa exercise a mission of hospitality. We provide encouragement, a listening ear, and prayerful support. These Sisters serve as directors, hostesses, receptionists, business managers, and staff.
Working as management and staff we offer a place to make a retreat, seek spiritual enrichment, spend some time alone, meet with friends, and hold workshops.
The kind words we have received from Bay View Villa guests give evidence to a "Mission alive through the consecrated life":
"What makes this house a home is the presence of the Sisters and their staff. Their hospitality is warm and caring. It's somewhat like the invitation of Jesus, 'Come and see'. It has witness value."
"...your witness of hospitality, your dedication, your friendly and gentle demeanor, and your prayer life have touched the many students who have had the good fortune of meeting the Sisters at Bay View." |
