Women of faith touching a world in need.
The Sisters of St. Francis of Assisi welcome you to Rieti Hermitage, a sacred space for women and men seeking 
solitude and prayer.
The Hermitage Ministry is based on the belief of our oneness with all creation, of our need for community in solitude, and of a sense of mission.
The Hermitage has been named Rieti, after the Rieti Valley in Assisi, a spot sacred to St. Francis. Located on our Motherhouse grounds, Rieti Hermitage faces a valley and woods, is adjacent to a grape arbor and is within walking
distance of Lake Michigan.
The Hermitage is self-contained, equipped with electricity, heat and water, and is wheelchair accessible. A screened porch provides a view into the valley and woods. For more information, click on the Hermitage Brochure link.
