Program Brochure
The House of Prayer
This is the 16th Benedictine Experience at the lovely House of Prayer built on land leased to the Episcopal Diocese of Minnesota by St. John's Abbey, one of the largest Roman Catholic monastic communities in the world. The House of Prayer and the new Oratory are beautiful, simple and elegant and reflect the tranquility of the surrounding countryside. The foliage at the end of September is an additional pleasure and there are miles of wooded walking paths. For more information visit ehouseofprayer.org.
Collegeville is approximately two hours north to northwest of Minneapolis. It is an easy drive from the Minneapolis airport and limousine service is available from the airport to Collegeville.
