The Conventual spiritual apostolate include

spiritual direction, retreats, monthly

recollection for priests/religious,

Confessions and counseling.

Thisapostolate has a humble

beginningof providing a hermitage

experience for the friars and

responding to their need for spiritual

recuperations. Today it responds to a

greater spiritual need of both priest

and religious and the laity. Many

Catholics from different diocese

come to have a hermitage experience

with the friars. During their stay they

pray the Divine offices with us and attend

the Conventual Mass. They see the friars

working with their hands and taking care of the

environment. They observe the animals and birds and

all different creatures in the environment, hence  they get

a vivid experience of the universal family preached by St. Francis.
 

 

In recent years the Franciscan Valley of Prayer and Silence has become a pilgrimage centre for Catholics all over the country, thanks to the Archbishop of Cape Coast who, in the year 2000 declared it a place of pilgrimage for his whole Archdiocese. Pilgrims come here to pray in parish groups, societal groups and even family groups. This is reversing the trend of many Catholics flocking to Protestant Prayer Centres in times of spiritual difficulties. Take a moment to visit our nearest convents. God bless you.
