Heritage Center

The physical spaces that make up the Incarnate Word Heritage Center include, among others, the Chapel of the Incarnate Word, the exhibit, “A Life for God and a Heart for Others,” the Convent Cemetery, the Brackenridge/Sweet House, and the “Blue Hole,” the headwaters of the San Antonio River.

Visitors to the exhibit are invited to enter into a journey, a pilgrimage of sorts, and reflect on their own call to make the love of God a real and tangible presence in the world today. The exhibit tells the story of the Congregation, through the stories of the Sisters and their collaborators. The stories are told primarily with photographs and accompanying captions, videos, and artifacts. The exhibit is open to visitors Monday through Friday, from 10:00 to 3:00. Small groups are asked to call ahead for a private tour (210-828-2224).
