​The event began in 2008 to renovate and rejuvenate the 100+ year old grape arbor. We are proud to say that full renovations have been completed as o the 2016 event. Beginning in 2017, the focused has moved to the construction of a new motherhouse for the senior Sisters of St. Francis of Assisi. The current building is not equipped to handle the capacity or needs of the Sisters living there. The new convent is necessary. If you drive past the property, you will see the construction in process in the footprint of the former St. Mary's Academy, Cardinal Stritch University, and Marion Center of Non-Profits. For more information on the new building and to see a fly over of what the final building will look like, please visit ​http://spiritofstfrancis.org/​​​

​The event has been relocated to Clare Hall. Parking is available at the West end of St. Fran​cis de Sales Seminary​ or Saint Thomas More High School. ​The event can be accessed by heading East on Morgan off KinnicKinnic Avenue, or heading South on ​New York Avenue off of East Oklahoma Avenue and then East on Morgan.
