Bethany House of Prayer
“The House was filled with the Fragrance of the oil
John 12:3
Renewal of women’s religious life begins at home.
Our Vision
The Bethany House of Prayer is a home for the movement of Friends of the Bridegroom.
We serve the local Church in Milwaukee by creating a place to encounter the witness of the consecrated Bride and offer our home as a space of rest and renewal for consecrated women.
Rest and Renewal
The Bethany House is first of all a place of prayer. The residents live in a rhythm of prayer that creates a space of peace. We offer hospitality in our home to religious women seeking a time of rest and renewal.
Encounter
The Bethany House provides space for the local Church to be renewed in their love for the Bride through hosting events with visiting religious. These encounters are a force of renewal for the whole Archdiocese.
Bethany Brunch 2024-2025:
Anchored in Hope, Persevering in Love
As the Church looks toward the 2025 Jubilee Year, the theme of the year has been proclaimed as Pilgrims of Hope. We join the Church in looking forward to this year and all the graces it contains and are excited to announce the theme for our upcoming Bethany Brunches as Anchored in Hope, Persevering in Love.
Our beloved speakers for each brunch will share their favorite passages from Spe Salvi, the 2025 Jubilee Letter from Pope Francis, or experiences of Jesus meeting them in areas of needed hope and how He sustains and fulfills each person in the perseverance of Love. Please come and be inspired, eat a wonderful brunch, meet fellow pilgrims on the journey of hope and allow Jesus to encounter you in the depths of your heart.
