The We Walk by Faith appeal generated millions of dollars that have gone toward the renovations of the facility. The selling price for the property was very much below market value. The purchase would not have been possible without the generosity of the Sisters. The Diocese of Rapid City and the Rapid City Catholic School System partnered with people from across the region to afford the purchase and subsequent renovations that were necessary to have not only this retreat center, but also the elementary school, St Elizabeth Seton, become a part of the Terra Sancta campus. The Sisters moved to their new smaller monastery in August of 2009, which is located just south of the retreat center. They also sold 200 acres to the Good Samaritan Society for a planned senior community. In the 2007, the Sisters sold the complex and 200 acres to the Diocese of Rapid City and the Rapid City Catholic School System. They continued to offer retreats and spaces for groups to hold events. They leased spaces to various mental health care groups and converted classrooms to apartments for a senior living community. The school closed in the 1991 and the Sisters found other uses for their facility.
