Our family went to DC a few years ago and we had a 'Catholix' day where we went to the Basilica, to the John Paul II conderence Center and to this wonderful Friary with catacombs and all! We're going to DC again in April so this reminds me to try and do another Catholic Day! Thanks for sharing this.

Ave Maria!;

BTW, dumb question here: What’s the difference between a friary and a monastery? This place in DC is called a monastery. I thought MONKS lived in monasteries (from like Benedictine or Augustinian orders) and Franciscan orders lived in Friaries. I’m so confused …

I had the privilege of going there several years ago; it is a ‘don’t miss’ place to visit for sure!
Ave Maria!
