Bicentennial stanza 12

In Stanza 12, the author is describing a room where a boy is being taken care of. He described that the dorm room is tidy and the nuns were kind. They gave him toys. The dormitory was attached to a chapel as it is mentioned in stanza 11. In stanza 13, it mentions one of the items that a nun brought to the dormitory. Stanza 12 makes me think that the dormitory is where he lived for the time being. This was until he got a house like it is mentioned in stanza 11.
