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 2025-2026:
The Dignity of Woman
The gift and dignity of woman has been the song of God’s heart from the beginning of creation. In her essence, in her heart, in her relationships, woman reveals the immanence and glory of God.
Through a deeper reflection on Psalm 45 and St John Paul II’s Letter to Women, we will encounter anew the splendor of the feminine heart and experience the restoration of our dignity as women made in the image and likeness of God.
