Our House of Prayer in the heart of the mission district holds a long history of prayer in this neighborhood. Built in 1914 as an Evangelical Church it became a Russian Orthodox Convent in 1948. In 2000, the Verbum Dei Missionary sisters moved in and continued this history of prayerful presence and outreach.
The big Chapel in the first floor of the building attracts people with its stain glass windows allowing natural light to illuminate prayer and meditation as well as the Courtyard. The spacious meeting room is a wonderful place for hosting celebrations as well as workshops.
There are another two meditation chapels and smaller spaces are for individual prayer and for spiritual direction.
This place is used by individuals and groups to rest and enjoy faith in the busyness of life close by.
