The Dominican friars offer a modest living in their convent to men. Five furnished single rooms for rent are available to male trainees and employees who work in connection with European institutions and who wish to live in a religious community on a temporary base.

As far as possible, residents are welcome to attend celebrations, prayers at Lauds and Vespers, and the events and conferences the community organises.

The community would like residents to take part every two months in an particular encounter with the community: a celebration followed by a meal and sharing about our commitments and interests, eventually with guests.

A room to rent

Before renting, candidates are invited to meet the responsable brothers for an interview (see 'contact' below).
