Visual Tour -- Franciscan Prayer Fraternity


Our Lady of the Angels Friary --   guest rooms & hermitage
 
On the backside of the main building, connected by a covered walkway and a deck, are the guest quarters. The building originally had been the warehouse where the herbs were processed and stored by the Volchoks. Since coming here, the friars have converted the long building into three guest rooms offering places for guests to stay while on retreat or visiting the Prayer Fraternity. One of the guest apartments is larger and suited for couples. (Pictured above are several of the interiors of the guest rooms)
 
A short distance away is another small building that was turned into the Hermitage. With a deck that faces the woods, it offers the opportunity for even greater solitude and quiet if a guest desires that.
 
All four rooms all fully equipped with a comfortable bed, private bathroom and shower, a lounge chair and table.
 
A recent retreatant had this to say about her stay in the rooms: "The room is lovely.  I loved to sit in my easy chair and look out the window. It was so peaceful, quiet, and prayerful."
