Museum of Family Prayer

Welcome to the Museum of Family Prayer!

We welcome you and your family to visit our unique and interactive Museum, where you can explore your faith and learn new ways to pray that your entire family will enjoy.

The museum provides:

Inspiration: A spiritual experience of prayer – touch, listen and watch, reflect and pray.

Exploration: Learn more about the history and power of prayer.

Connection: Time to reconnect with your family and your faith.

You’ll also learn about the remarkable story of sainthood candidate, Father Patrick Peyton, C.S.C., who inspired the world with his timeless message, “The family that prays together stays together.”
