Guidelines for an Experience of Mt. Irenaeus

In the early days of Mt. Irenaeus, the late Fr. Joe Doino, OFM, wrote a few simple guidelines for everyone to consider when visiting the Mountain to help focus prayer, meditation, location, nature and more. For those who have visited the Mountain, you may have seen these guidelines in your room or cabin. They will now be here online for all to reflect upon -- at the Mountain or even in your own community while you're out on a walk.
