Mount St. Macrina
House of Prayer, located in Uniontown, Pennsylvania, is sponsored and
staffed by the Sisters of the Order of St. Basil the Great.
The Center, formerly the mansion of Josiah Van Kirk Thompson, a coal
and coke baron in the early 1900’s is an elegant facility with small
conference rooms, chapel, dining area and overnight accommodations for
21 people.
The peace-filled atmosphere surrounding the Center offers a sense of
serenity, solitude and refreshment to all who visit.
Since many people realize the need to withdraw from their hectic
everyday schedules, the Center offers the ideal place to relax and
rest quietly with themselves and the Lord. Persons seeking to open
themselves to God through prayer, reflection and solitude are invited
to experience this in the quiet and beauty of the Center and the
spacious grounds.
The staff conducts retreats and provides hospitality and opportunity
for personal spiritual guidance. The Center also hosts a number of
"Days of Prayer" for various church groups.
Programs are designed to meet the needs of an individual or group.
Groups may also provide their own program and director.
Besides offering opportunities for enrichment and spiritual growth,
the Retreat Center facilities are available on a limited basis for
meetings for all denominations.
Individuals and groups are invited and encouraged to visit and/or plan
day pilgrimages to the Shrine of Our Lady of Perpetual Help which is
the focal point of the Center. Though thousands of people gather at
Mount St. Macrina over the Labor Day weekend for the annual Pilgrimage
to Our Lady of Perpetual Help, few realize that they can visit the
Shrine all through the year.
Those seeking further information are asked to write Mount St. Macrina
House of Prayer, 510 W. Main Street, PO Box 878, Uniontown PA
15401-0878 or to call 724-438-7149. |
