Welcome to Our Lady of the Piedmont Hermitage (Franciscan)

Our Lady of the Piedmont Hermitage
WHO ARE WE?
In creating Our Lady of the Piedmont Hermitage, we drew on two concepts. First of these concepts was the early Franciscan brothers whose hermitages were where they lived and could go to pray and to retreat from the world. The other was the growing trend today in many churches of establishing the consecration of urban hermits, those individuals who felt a call to a religious life but not in a religious community.
We are both members of the Franciscans of Our Saviour, an Anglican religious order under the protection of the Episcopal Missionary Church and we serve also as the hub for our area Franciscan community.
Our primary purpose is to offer prayer, both in the Holy Eucharist and through our daily Holy Offices, for our faith communities and for the world. We also work to promote a better environment through information and example. To learn more about these ministries or to send us a prayer request please contact us.

Join with us in our prayer life and our efforts to save our fragile planet.
