The current Monastery was built after a fire in 2008 destroyed the original wooden structure. Designed by Albert and Lisa Skiles, who were schooled by award winning architect E. Faye Jones, it is patterned after the Franciscan missions of Texas and California. It is a substantially green, or environmentally sensitive building. It was blessed on April 10, 2010 by Bishop Anthony B. Taylor of The Diocese of Little Rock Arkansas.

A MONASTIC PILGRIMAGE to the CONTEMPLATIVE HEART OF THE CHURCH

Peace and Good in Christ!
 
For nearly 2,000 years monasticism has been considered the traditional contemplative and mystical heart of the Church. Only in the recent secularized west has this been lost. Monasteries are dying in the west. BUT, WE ARE REVIVING IT in the SPIRIT with our integrated monastery for ALL STATES OF LIFE.  

WE INVITE YOU to make a Pilgrimage to Little Portion Hermitage in the beautiful mountains of Northwest Arkansas to REDISCOVER this POWERFUL GIFT for YOURSELF!

Come with a group or individually for A DAY, or SEVERAL DAYS to immerse yourself in the contemplative heart of Christ in the Church. Our GUEST HOUSE at the Motherhouse is lovely, and the food and fellowship is GREAT! Join us in beautiful chanted Liturgies. Arrange a Spiritual Conference with an experienced monastic. Or just walk the grounds and pray quietly in the Chapel. 

Some stay for a day, a week, or even a lifetime! 

YOU ARE WELCOME! COME AND JOIN US!

Come make a Holy Pilgrimage to our Little Portion Hermitage & Monastery deep in the beautiful Ozark Mountains!

This contemplative jewel of the Church in America is filled with an awe inspiring monastic church and monastery, gorgeous walks through the prayer gardens, and a welcoming monastic community.

Since the beginning, monasteries have been considered the beating contemplative heart of the Church. It is only in the last part of the 20th century that we began losing this contemplative heart in the church in America. But, we are gaining new members, and that contemplative heart is being revived in the Holy Spirit and in Jesus Christ!

We invite you to come make a pilgrimage to rediscover this beating contemplative heart of the Church for yourself. Some have said that, “Little Portion Hermitage and Monastery is one of the best kept secrets in North America.”

Discover this secret for yourself, walk quietly with Jesus, and let Him unlock the peace and contemplation of this holy place. It is well worth the pilgrimage!
