Our Lady Of Wisdom Health Care Center Description
Our Lady of Wisdom was developed by sixteen religious congregations. As a unified group, the congregations were able to build a community to serve religious men and women, diocesan priests and their flock.
Their efforts transformed a spacious, tree-lined property on the Westbank of New Orleans into the centerpiece of spiritual growth for senior believers from across the Gulf South. A modern facility with staggering sun-soaked details, Our Lady of Wisdom features large event and recreation spaces, a tranquil courtyard and comfortable common areas with libraries and flat screen televisions. Wisdom’s chapel is truly a remarkable space to experience. Vaulted ceilings, arched windows and stained glass details illuminate the gracious aura of the Wisdom community.
