Peaceful Gardens and Quiet Reflection Minutes from Boston

Bethany House of Prayer is nestled in a quiet, residential hillside neighborhood of Arlington, Massachusetts, a vibrant community just minutes west of Cambridge and Boston. We’re easily accessible from Route 2, by Bus (62, 77, and 78), or along the Minuteman Commuter Bikeway.

The shops and restaurants along Arlington’s lively Massachusetts Avenue are just a short walk away.

Set among peaceful gardens on the hillside, our houses and chapel create a welcoming campus for prayer, reflection, and renewal:

  • St. John’s House – 181 Appleton Street

  • St. Gabriel’s House – 173 Appleton Street

  • Chapel of St. Anne – 20 Claremont Avenue


Parking Information

Our lot next to the Chapel of St. Anne accommodates up to 8 cars.

Additional on-street parking is available nearby. We recommend parking on Claremont Avenue, which tends to be quieter than Appleton Street.

For overnight parking, please note that vehicles must be registered with the Town of Arlington to avoid ticketing. You can easily complete your overnight parking request online through the town’s website: Submit an Overnight Parking Request.
