The Sisters of St. Mary of Oregon joyfully dedicated the new patio and bocce courts Wednesday August 12, 2015 with the opening of Community Days on campus. The court and patio is located on the East side of the Motherhouse building designed to give the Sisters some area for outdoor recreation and gathering. Bocce was at one time, the most popular sport in the world. The Sisters have enjoyed playing the game the past several years including annual championships and contests.
