Sister Barb Younger, Prioress of Mother of God Monastery and Board President of The Village of Harmony Hill, shares the extraordinary story behind one of South Dakota’s most innovative and values-driven community projects. In this conversation, she unpacks the monastery’s legacy, why the sisters donated an entire square mile of land, and how it’s becoming a home for affordable housing, education, child care, and aging with purpose.From opening the only Challenger Learning Center in the region to building a 225 seat daycare and state-of-the-art senior care neighborhoods, this is a story about foresight, faith, and the kind of leadership our world needs more of.This isn’t just a feel-good story. It’s a blueprint.Sister Barb and the Benedictine sisters saw their chapter closing and instead of retreating, they leaned in. They’re rewriting what legacy looks like. Turning sacred land into a multi-generational, multi-purpose community rooted in hospitality, human dignity, and collaboration.Whether you're in city planning, education, senior care, or you're just looking for proof that small communities can dream big.
