Staying at friarys for couple days

[Paul_theApostle]

At a Fransiscan Capuchin friary in my town they don’t allow for visitors to sleep a few nights with them at their place,i don’t know about other friaries around,but does anyone know if where you guys live if there are friaries which allow visitors to stay a few days with them?

Im just asking to see if there are in fact places around the world which do let visitors to sleep a couple days …

I should ask around though,there are plenty in my country…

i could be wrong but the nun who owns EWTN had her mother stay with her when she got old before her death but i’m not 100% sure.

There is a Benedictine monastery in downtown Chicago that has visitor accommodations. You need a reservation and they are booked months in advance.

In my country we have some Franciscan friars in Jonsered outside of Gothenburg that allows visitors. There is also a Benedictine monastery in Scania who usually accept pilgrims. I also know of many other places, I think the charism of hospitality is quite common…

Is there any particular place or charism that you are interested in?

Your best bet is finding a monastery that offers guest accommodations for retreats. Remember, friaries are homes. Most friars aren’t going to let random individuals stay with them unless said rando is there for a reason, such as having been invited as part of vocational discernment. If someone called you up and asked to stay in your home for a few nights, you’d probably be skeptical.
