The Episcopal House of Prayer retreat space was built in 1990, the result of a collaborative effort between the Episcopal Church in Minnesota and Saint John’s Abbey. Read about our beginnings in an excerpt from Bishop Bob Anderson’s A Sense of Place. The retreat center is located on five acres on the grounds of Saint John’s Abbey and University and is a subsidiary of the Episcopal Church of Minnesota. As an independent non-profit, it does not receive financial support from either the Abbey or Episcopal Church of Minnesota.
In addition to our 13 retreat rooms (9 singles, 4 doubles), an Oratory was built in 2001. This unique space, designed in the tradition of Native American hogans, is particularly suited for contemplative prayer.
We sponsor a number of programs throughout the year in our retreat space in Collegeville and at the House of Prayer in the City, a second location next to St. Mark’s Cathedral in Minneapolis. Our programs are grounded in the practice of Christian contemplative prayer
