Graymoor, today the headquarters of the Franciscan Friars and Sisters of the Atonement, was originally a mission church called St. John In the Wilderness, erected in 1875 in the hills of the Hudson River by the rector of the Episcopal Church in Garrison, New York. The church was later abandoned and deteriorated. In 1893 three Anglican ladies restored it and named it Graymoor. In 1898, Mother Lurana White and Fr. Paul Wattson applied for Graymoor to become the foundation of their newly founded Society of the Atonement. Graymoor’s shrines, chapels and picturesque grounds are open for the public and people of all faiths to enjoy.
