OUR FOUR PILLARS
Prayer
Everyday in our chapel at 7:00 am, 12:00 pm, and 5:30 pm we pray for the healing of metropolitan Richmond; for the welfare of all who live here, and for the establishment of God’s justice and peace in our community. All are welcome to join.
Hospitality
At Richmond Hill, hospitality means living our collective life in service to others, in a commitment to welcome ALL guests in love and a spirit of prayer. We do this through our programs, through community meals and retreats, and through an open door policy for daily prayer and weekly eucharist. All are welcome.
Racial Healing
Richmond Hill’s commitment to racial healing dates back to its founding. Building off of The Sister of the Visitation of Monte Maria’s commitment to pray for reconciliation and healing in the aftermath of the civil war, Richmond Hill works to address the racial tension that has persisted in our city since the nation’s founding.
Spiritual Development
Richmond Hill’s spirituality centers around our Rule of Life based on The Rule of St. Benedict. St. Benedict called it his “little rule” in that it was simple and realistic. Our Rule fosters the necessary structure for spiritual development in a space that is both contemplative and active. The prayers and programming spring from that core commitment to spiritual maturation.
Come For A Visit
Whether it’s our Tuesday Night Gatherings, a stoll through the garden, or a weekend retreat, we would love to have you here with us.
