St. Vincent’s Academy will once again host the popular St Vincent’s Tour & Tea in Savannah on Saturday October 17, 2009. This is a popular self-guided tour of the original 1845 Convent building and eight private homes in the historic district.

This year’s tour of homes promises to be a look inside nine beautiful homes in Savannah’s Historic District. Some of the residences reflect their 19th century origin in architectural style, interiors and furnishings, while others offer an exciting contemporary approach to Savannah downtown living.

The centerpiece of the fall tour of homes is the elegant tea which will be served on the grounds of the Convent. Academy students will serve tea with delicious homemade confections and traditional tea sandwiches.

St. Vincent’s has enjoyed an enduring relationship with St. Joseph’s since 1875, when the Sisters of Mercy established St. Joseph’s Hospital in downtown Savannah. Proceeds from the Tour & Tea benefit the preservation and restoration of the historic Convent.

Discover why native this annual event has been called “the best tour in Savannah.”
