Biography

St. Mary's Retreat House, adjacent to the Old Mission, was established by the Sisterhood of the Holy Nativity, part of the same Episcopalian community that runs Mt. Cavary Monastery. A wealthy donor purchased the main house of hte old Hazard estate for the Sisters in 1954; the Sisters later purchased the second house and the remainder of the 7.5-acre estate. Both houses have a cozy, bed-and-breakfast-style charm; behind, terraces and gardens overlook sycamore-thick Mission Canyon and the Museum of Natural History. - from Santa Barbara Magazine November/December 1991
