Visitation Monastery North Minneapolis

Visitation Monastery North Minneapolis Interested in connecting with a contemplative community in the heart of the city? Come join us for pr Francis de Sales and St.

The Visitation Sisters are present in inner city North Minneapolis to “Live Jesus” by being part of this multicultural community—to share prayer, hope and God’s blessings with the people in our neighborhood and to receive their blessedness. Founded in 1989, our urban monastery is a unique expression of monasticism that is part of the worldwide Order of the Visitation Sisters of Holy Mary, founded by St. Jane de Chantal in Annecy, France, in the year 1610.

Last weekend, we hosted another "Pause, Ponder, Pray" retreat for our neighbors. We loved gifting our 20 guests with Yolanda Jones' "Pause" journal. Yolanda knows how important respite is for us all, which is why she made it the theme of the journal. You can see pictures below, and we will post a link to her website when it is published in the next month.

Our inspiration for this retreat was St. Francis de Sales' timeless quote: "Be who you are and be that well so that you may bring honor to the master craftsman whose handiwork you are."

Peace to you with whatever trial you are bearing today.

We are awed by the international presence of the Visitation Order. Here are all the Vis Sisters who are Presidents or representatives of their Federations from around the world! They are gathered at our first monastery (in Annecy, France, founded in 1610) to collaborate on how to live the Visitation charism in modern times.
