Episode Details

In a bold move that blends faith, community, and innovation, the Benedictine Sisters of Mother of God Monastery in Watertown, South Dakota, are turning their 500-acre estate into The Village at Harmony Hill — a multigenerational haven designed to serve all ages, from toddlers to seniors. This $83 million project includes affordable housing, childcare, STEM centers, and commercial spaces, repurposing the historic monastery into a vibrant community hub. With construction underway since 2021, it’s poised to become one of the state’s largest and most diverse developments — creating thousands of jobs while addressing critical needs like housing and elder care. Rooted in the sisters’ lifelong mission of service, this “womb-to-tomb” vision fosters intergenerational connection, ensuring their legacy of compassion thrives for generations to come.
