Saint Boniface (Despins Residence)

2005-2011  



GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION
The building called Despins Residence is situated at the intersection of Despins and Taché Streets, at the heart of Saint Boniface on a large stretch of land of 3.5 acres facing the Red River. It is close to many local services such as the Saint Boniface Cathedral, the Saint Boniface General Hospital, Taché Centre (a Personal Care Home), many restaurants, stores, and shops. All are easily accessible. What is particular to the Despins Residence is that it shelters seven different religious communities under the same roof. The four apartments where the Sisters of Saint Joseph live are adjacent to the west end of the hallway on the fourth floor.
