Trailer Donation Nun too Fancy for St. Barbara’s Monastery
I met Sister Mary when she came to Cars 4 Causes® corporate offices to make a donation of two vehicles that were at the St. Barbara Monastery. In addition to the vehicle donations she was making, Sister Mary was also discussing the need for additional housing for the Sisters at St. Barbara. The monastery, which is strictly for women, was founded in 1992, and was then located in Santa Barbara.
The community of twelve Sisters moved to their current location in Santa Paula in 2005, and once there, ran into some snags with their housing plans. The Sisters needed places to stay until their building issues could be resolved. In the meantime, they are living in various trailers situated on the grounds of St. Barbara’s Monastery.
Cars 4 Causes® had a trailer that was perfect for their needs. We delivered the 27 foot 1986 Century Travel Trailer to St. Barbara’s last week, to the delight of Sister Mary. You can view the video of the trailer donation and Sister Mary’s sincere thank you to Cars 4 Causes®.
