Description of our Guest Houses
The Holy Anargyroi Greek Orthodox Church of Rochester Minnesota opened its first Philoxenia house in July of 2004. The Philoxenia house is located next to our Church, walking distance to the Mayo Clinic. Its prupose is to house free of charge Orthodox visitors to Mayo Clinic with financial need. We have been blessed to now have open a second guest house located next to the first. The parish has purchased this house and a third house this last summer at a cost of $350,000. We are actively seeking major donations for these purchases. Please use the link to bottom left to make a donation.
