The Sisters of Roosendaal started a school here in 1856 where about 30 girls from Bonaire became Catholic sisters. All the Dutch Sisters have returned to Holland and the Bonairean Sisters now live within the community. Behind the Convent is a chapel. It is open to all religions. In the back is the old hospital, built in 1922 and restored in 1944. Since the opening of the modern hospital next door in 1977, the building has been used for offices and the elderly.
