Georgetown Visitation Monastery, Catholic monastery in Georgetown, United States
Georgetown Visitation Monastery includes a chapel, living quarters, and educational facilities spread across several historic buildings in Washington, D.C.
Founded in 1799 by Alice Lalor and two companions from Philadelphia, the monastery received official recognition as a religious institution from the Vatican in 1816.
The monastery maintains a deep connection to Catholic education through its associated preparatory school, which has educated young women since its establishment.
The monastery buildings stand at 1500 35th Street NW in Georgetown, adjacent to the Georgetown Visitation Preparatory School campus.
The monastery's chapel, constructed in 1819, holds the distinction of being the first Sacred Heart chapel established in the United States.
