Overview

Katarinahjemmet has ten single rooms and four double rooms, all with a private balcony and sink. Showers and bathrooms in the hall.
Guests are free to use the computer and wireless internet in the library, and the chapel is also at guests' disposal.

Prayer is the deepest breath, an attitude of life that strives to see everything through the eyes of God. Prayer together and individually is therefore the foundation of life. The sisters meet several times a day to pray. Everyone is invited to pray with the sisters.
