MOUNT ST. FRANCIS

'Mount Saint Francis' is the name of a retreat center and a residence for members of the Conventual Franciscan Order, a religious community of Roman Catholic men. Located in the scenic hills of Southern Indiana near Louisville, Kentucky, Mount Saint Francis is a multipurpose facility owned and administered by the Province of Our Lady of Consolation of the Conventual Franciscan Friars. This center is situated on 400 acres of wooded land, including a large lake. The land was donated to the Franciscans by American actress Mary Anderson (1859-1940), and an arts center bearing her name is part of the Mount Saint Francis complex. Prior to the opening of the retreat center in 1975, the Conventual Franciscans operated a minor, or high-school seminary for young men. Graduates of this school were encouraged to continue their studies and become members of the Franciscan Order.
