I've been past this on an H6 Metrobus (it runs between Fort Lincoln and Brookland-CUA), but I've never been on the grounds.

VISIT THE FRANCISCAN MONASTERY OF THE HOLY LAND!

***Due to the COVID pandemic, there are no plans at this time to reopen the Monastery. Our gardens remain open daily, 9am-5pm and our event venue, St. Francis Hall, is open for rentals following city guidelines. Please check back regularly for any updates***

Discover a different D.C.! The Franciscan Monastery of the Holy Land in America has been named one of the Top 5 places most tourists miss when sightseeing in Washington, D.C. We invite you to take a break from the museums, monuments, and memorials and make a “pilgrimage” to the Franciscan Monastery to take in the beauty of our gardens, find peace in the Monastery church and among the replicas of Holy Land shrines, attend a concert or event, or learn about the Franciscans’ work in the holy land. This is a free attraction that is easily seen by foot, and it’s one of the best natural views in the district!

ENJOY THE GARDENS

Enjoy the outdoors and God’s creation by walking the recreation trail through our century-old gardens with replicas of sacred shrines, roses and many native plants; you can also volunteer in our vegetable garden.
