MADONNA HOUSE - WASHINGTON, DC

An open door of hospitality, prayer, and friendship on the Hill

 

WHO WE ARE

Madonna House Washington is called to be an open-door offering hospitality of heart and home, a house of prayer and fasting on the Hill, an outreach to accompany and form in the spiritual life, a hand of friendship to the poor. Welcome pilgrim!

We are a Catholic community of laymen, women, and priests. Our life together is modelled after the Holy Family who served humbly in the hidden village of Nazareth, forming the first community of love. We breathe from "the two lungs" of the Church - both East and West. We follow the path of Our Lady, the perfect disciple, under the evangelical counsels of poverty, chastity and obedience. Our main center is in Combermere, Ontario, Canada, and we have mission houses around the world.

FEATURED EVENTS

  • "I am truly grateful there's a Madonna House field house in the city, especially in DC when I'm travel in the US. There are tons of Catholic communities here with many opportunities to encounter Christ, but witnessing the humble Nazareth spirituality of Madonna House is always grounding."

    —Maja

  • “Visiting the Madonna House really is like visiting the home of the Holy Family. It is filled with simplicity, warmth, friendship, and prayer. Having a place like this in the heart of Washington, DC is an oasis in the desert.”
