A hermitage is a structure, simple in nature and design, created to provide solitude outside of an institutional setting for an individual to live alone even for an extended period of time. Saint Francis of Assisi had many such places in the mountains of Italy, so that he could withdraw into solitude and deeper communion with God before returning to his ministry among people. As we spend time in the midst of creation, its mysteries reveal wonders to us and bring us into a deeper relationship with ourselves and the whole universe. This private, two-unit log cabin structure is nestled in a pine grove clearing on the Franciscan Sisters’ campus in Little Falls. Each cabin contains a bed, desk, chair, half bath, small stove and refrigerator. Persons staying at The Hermitage do their own cooking and cleaning. The serene setting offers privacy and space, yet provides access to daily Mass and emergency needs. The Hermitage shares the Franciscan concept of peace and simplicity and is available for retreats to all persons regardless of race, religion or way of life. It is accessible to all. |
