Cloister, Museum and Church to a quiet and reflective place. A
part of all of our history. A holy place, where you will at once
feel at home, regardless of your religious beliefs, or the shade

For many who know the history of Saint Peter Claver, their
repeated visits are to an historic and sacred place of national

millenniums. Judge solely by deeds, for there is no other way.
