The
Good Shepherd Convent is located in the Mines View Barangay. Within walking
distance from the souvenir shops at Mines View Park, the main entrance is along
Gibraltar Road. The convent is typically the next stop for visitors from Mines
View Park. For those with vehicles, it is easiest to enter the convent's gate,
taking the driveway leading up to the parking lot within the compound. This is
the compound center where you find people waiting to be served by the store
salesclerks.
This
store is popular for the different products made by the Good Shepherd nuns.
Visitors coming up to the city who are familiar with items sold in the store
always make it a point buy fruit preserves, strawberry and ube jams, cashew and
peanut brittle, and coco jam. Most of these products are also available in the
Baguio Public Market and at other outlets within the city. Money generated from
the sale of these products is used for the different charities sponsored by the
Good Shepherd nuns. It is also used for the care and continuance of the
convent.
The
compound houses other buildings and facilities. Aside from the convent, there
is also a Retreat House for college and high school students. At one end of the
parking lot is an observation deck with a magnificent view of the distant
Cordillera Mountains and the valley below. There is also a garden with assorted
trees and colorful flowering plants where you get to smell the fresh
pine-scented mountain air.
