House of Prayer Saint Raphaela Mary
Far from the noise and bustle of the city, the Saint Raphaela Mary House of Prayer is a place of silence, beauty, and encounter.
At the heart of the house — in its physical sense — is the chapel. The entire house is organized around this heart, where the Lord Jesus is present and awaits us. He is truly the heart of the house. It is from Him that the simple rhythm of the days and the desire to be a house open to all arise.
We offer Ignatian Spiritual Exercises, both in groups and one-to-one, spiritual accompaniment, and a varied program of activities, including opportunities for prayer, formation, and personal growth. On Sundays, we celebrate the Eucharist at 6.30pm which is open to all.
