Share
The Saint Rose Convent has stood on the banks of the Mississippi River in La Crosse, Wisconsin since 1871 and the city's historic preservation commission wants to designate it as a historic building. But the Catholic nuns who live and pray in the convent are fighting the designation. They say the city is interferring in the practice of their religion. The preservation commission will consider the designation tonight.
