A community effort to transform an empty convent into a home for Ukrainian refugees has paid off, with two families moving in last weekend.
Hundreds of volunteers worked to renovate the old Molong convent, located in the central west of New South Wales, with the blessing of the local Catholic parish.
"I hope that this project inspires other communities, not just in the city but in the bush as well, to find that practical thing that they can do to help people in need," Father Greg Bellamy said.
