In the spirit of St. Francis, the poor man from Assisi, the community at Little Portion Friary welcomes you to their home and invites you to join them as they celebrate life, a spiritual journey. Whether coming alone, with a friend or in a group, our house provides a serene atmosphere for reflection and renewal; a time to be still and wait upon God.
In the spirit of hospitality, we offer overnight accommodations in our guest house for groups and in our main house for individuals. Meals include a simple breakfast of cereal, toast and fruit; with wholesomely prepared lunches and dinners. We do not operate a restaurant or hotel service, but rather invite you to our table to share as Jesus shared with his friends. Special requests are not taken, but we do accommodate special dietary needs within reason. All visitors to our home are expected to respect our times of rest, prayer and quiet meditation.
Little Portion is a place where you can be yourself, and open yourself to God. We are committed to helping people find their way to a joyous spirituality. We support your journey by offering our home as a place for meetings, spiritual growth, engagement and rest. Visitors are allowed and encouraged to participate in our prayer services and Eucharist. Guests also are invited to join us for meals, browse our library, and soak up the Franciscan ethos of humility, love and joy. There are many opportunities to participate in spiritual and community-building activities; however, none of our activities are mandatory for our guests. The bakery, gift shop, labyrinth and woods are major attractions for most of our visitors. We wish you much peace and all good as you explore our spiritual life.

Praise and prayer constitute the atmosphere in which the brothers strive to live. The endeavor to maintain a constant recollection of the Presence of God and of the unseen world. The Holy Eucharist is the center round which their life revolves. ~ The Principles of the First Order
