 After extensive community engagement and outreach, our team is pleased to share our updated proposal for the Felician Campus Redevelopment.

With a focus on saving St. Felix Center, the Felician Sisters have identified that shifting the redevelopment priorities to exclusively build Senior Housing would meet many of the housing needs of Enfield, allow for the preservation of the St. Felix Center building, and to ensure future continuity for the current sisters living on the campus as well as the Enfield Montessori School and their students.

Now the project will accomplish the following:

• Preserve and reuse the St. Felix Center, which has been vacant for over 3 years
• Provide 45 apartments for seniors aged 62 and up, meeting accessibility and independent living needs
• Community life room and wellness center to provide health and wellness programs for seniors living on campus
• Outdoor amenities including community gardens and updated walking paths

Background on this project:

In late 2022, the Felician Sisters made the difficult decision to withdraw our plans for the Felician Campus Redevelopment Project created in partnership with the Sisters of Enfield.

Discussions around how to preserve and adapt the convent in the future are still ongoing, however, the updated concept to focus only on seniors without constructing new buildings on the campus was agreed upon by all stakeholders to be a good and beneficial use that would meet the sisters and community needs.

The Sisters will be sharing more information in Fall 2023 as plans are developed to present to Planning and Zoning for Site Plan approval.
