This house is run by a fabulous group of Franciscan Sisters of Atonement. It is located next to the Pope John Paul II Cultural Center, just off the campus of Catholic University. The National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception is a short walk (and a shorter drive for we drove to accommodate the frail and/or elderly among us) down the street.
Not much knitting was accomplished, but I experienced a beautiful weekend. Here are some images (hover to read the ALT tag and see what you are seeing!):

you were in my old neck of the woods!
more literally true than you might think. the shrine parking lot was empty at night. a quiet dark place to sit in a car and chat with my HS boyfriend. yup, we did a lot of chatting there.
glad the weekend was worthwhile, gotta say though too bad you didn't schedule your retreat for the third retreat house listed on the link.
The shrine looks so beautiful. I'm glad you got some rest and peace this weekend.
