Kitchen Policy
Our Lady of Bethesda provides a range of nutritious menu options for all our guests. Guests with specific food preferences may bring their own items to supplement the offerings provided by our kitchen. However, due to current restrictions and concerns, guests are not permitted to use the kitchen and kitchen staff cannot prepare your food. There will be a small refrigerator available in the dining room where guests may store their own clearly marked items; guests must remove those items upon departure.
Visitor Policy
OLB is a special place for many to connect more deeply with our Lord, and we welcome visitors to enjoy the peace of the chapel and grounds when programs are not ongoing. We appreciate your cooperation with the following:
- Chapel time for prayer…we will have our chapel available for those who would like to spend some time with our Lord. Our Lord awaits us here.
- Our outdoor Stations of the Cross and rosary walk are always available for you to pray.
