Organizing a Pilgrimage
Pope Leo XIV has proclaimed a Jubilee Year of St. Francis from January 10, 2026 to January 10, 2027. The faithful who visit our monastery chapel during this time may gain a plenary indulgence. To promote this sacred time and opportunity, the Poor Clares have announced the possibility of making a pilgrimage, whether as an individual or group, to their monastery.
I'm an individual, how can I make a visit?
The chapel is open daily for 7:00 a.m. Mass and on Fridays with all day with Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament following the 7:00 a.m. Mass and concluding at 4:10 p.m. with Reposition and Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament.
Anyone wishing to visit the Chapel outside of these hours, when the Chapel door is locked, is welcome to ring the doorbell at the main monastery entrance for access. If you plan to bring a group, please call ahead to make arrangements.
I want to bring a group, how does that work?
The Poor Clare Sisters would love to welcome your group. Group sizes are often between 15 and 75 persons. To request your visit, please follow the link below that will requeset all necessary information. After the information is received, the Sisters will reach back out to you to confirm and provide further details.
What does a pilgrimage visit for a group look like?
Vists are scheduled Mondays through Saturdays between 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
For pilgrimage groups, there are two options: a morning visit or an afternoon visit. To see a detailed example for each, please follow the link below.
