Gratis parkering finns vid klostret. Brookland Metrorail-stationen (som betjänar den röda linjen) ligger 15-20 minuters promenad bort, eller så kan du lämna stationen, hoppa på H6 Metrobus och släppas ut precis framför klostret.
You can drive to the monastery (located off 14th Street Northeast) and make use of free, on-site parking. Or, take the Metrorail (Red Line) to the Brookland-CUA station and walk to the monastery from there. To avoid the walk from the Metro station, take the H6 Metrobus, which stops in front of the monastery.
You can visit the monastery year-round, any day of the week—tours are offered five times a day Monday–Saturday and three times on Sundays. Mass is also held multiple times each day. Check the museum’s online schedule for more details and special events. From April–September, visit on Saturdays to join a docent-led tour of the gardens.
The monastery offers one-person retreats in a small cottage known as a “hermitage.” The retreat is designed to give an individual the chance to further connect with God and is not intended to be used simply as accommodations. With only two cottages on-site, the hermitage must be booked in advance.
