25100 The Journey
Day 1
This tour is a wonderful pilgrimage for all that take the tour. Everywhere you look there are religious and historical collections and artifacts. As part of the tour, we ask each visitor to bring one or more canned goods to leave at the Carmelites’ door. The Carmelite nuns maintain a rule of enclosure, which means they remain separated from the general public, staying behind the monastery walls and gardens.
Starting at 10:00 am until the tour finishes around 4:15, pm you will have a day of joyful bliss and a new strength of spirit.
Other stops included in the day are the Basilica of St. Michael, Our Lady of the Alleghenies Shrine, Monastery Carmel of St. Therese of Lisieux, a buffet lunch at St. Francis College, a stop at the Immaculate Conception Chapel in St. Francis College, the Mt. Assisi Gardens Stations, and Lemon House and Engine House 6.
