Visitors ask...Franciscan Monastery in Washington, D.C.?

I get frequent questions on Monasteries, so I try to publicize those in the vicinity. I dusted off this old post on the Franciscan Monastery, Commissariat of the Holy Land in Washington, D.C . I have several friends who go on "short pilgrimages" to this location about three times a month! Here is how to get to the Monastery . Masses and Confessions are frequent so it is a great place to go for confession virtually on the hour . Here is a virtual tour of the Holy Land . Finally, on great feasts and holidays, there are special events . I know for Christmas, the location is packed so if you wish to go, plan well in advance and call the number provided. It is a place of great beauty. And it seems to be a "local" secret!
