The sisters of St. Scholastica Monastery in Fort Smith have been part of the River Valley since 1878. The community of about 30 sisters, down from nearly 400 in the 1960s, moved out of the original monastery into a new facility. Border Town Auctions is holding an auction of 5,000 items through Saturday to raise money for the monastery and the sisters.
