Take a short drive now up to Carmel Hill where Vianney House, our guest house for visiting clergy, is set in the hills overlooking the scenic Madawaska River Valley below. Vianney House offers a unique opportunity to step aside from the pressures of parish work and spend time in prayer and rest. Guest priests are encouraged to participate in meals, prayer and, where possible, physical labor with the community, so as to absorb the spirit of Madonna House in a practical way. There is also the possibility of retreat or time spent in Poustinia, according to each individual’s need.
