On the grounds, there are six shrines for prayer and meditation including a statue of St. Maximilian Kolbe outside front of the main entrance area. Inside there is a beautiful perpetual adoation chapel. There is also a special area which depicts the story of St. Max's life in photos and in art. It's very moving!<BR/><BR/>I have been there for retreat before and also to visit for their summer festival. It's is run by the Conventual Franciscans -- the same order as St. Max. My former spiritual director lives and works there. He is a real sweetheart as are the other brothers and priests there. They have that joyful Franciscan spirit. Oh, and of course there is a book and gift shop, too. I spent much of my time in there as well as in Eucharistic Adoration.<BR/><BR/>God bless,<BR/>JeanJean Heimannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15337901330501175087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239326.post-1142972885925082222006-03-21T14:28:00.000-06:002006-03-21T14:28:00.000-06:00No. What is that like?No. What is that like?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239326.post-1142972421102126312006-03-21T14:20:00.000-06:002006-03-21T14:20:00.000-06:00He is one of my favorites, too.
