For your time with us please bring a flashlight, informal clothing, sturdy foot-wear and slippers to wear in the house and chapel. Evenings and early mornings are often chilly, even in the summer so a sweater or light jacket will be helpful. Front wheel drive vehicles with good tire tread can make the hill easily through the winter. Some uphill walking is required in moving between the cabins, chapel and common house.
Guests occasionally enjoy weeding or some other outdoor work.
Often guests participate in the preparation of a meal or in clean-up afterwards. Any participation in our life continues to build the sense and experience of family which is one of the gifts of Mt. Irenaeus. We provide linens, meals and have some prayer resources available. You are welcome to bring those things you feel you need for your personal comfort and health while you are here. If you plan to cook for yourself you are welcome to bring your own food items.
