St. Elizabeth's Convent, Religious complex in Bensalem Township, US
The three-building complex features Spanish-French Mission architecture with a main convent building, chapel, bell tower, utility building, and laundry facility.
Founded in 1892, St. Elizabeth's Convent served as the motherhouse of the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament until its closure and sale in 2017.
The convent supported the mission of St. Katharine Drexel, focusing on ministering to Native Americans and African Americans through education and community services.
Located at 1663 Bristol Pike in Cornwells Heights, the 8-acre property maintains its chapel as an active place of worship for visitors.
The original crypt of St. Katharine Drexel resided within the chapel before relocation to the Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul in Philadelphia.
