While staying at the House of Prayer, do I have to pray every Hour?

No, but echoing the words of the Holy Father, we "warmly invite" you to. Guests are expected to pray every Hour listed in the schedule. (Each Hour only takes 10-15 minutes.) We are so convinced that the Liturgy of the Hours is crucial to the work of the Church, based on the Second Vatican Council, the Catechism of the Catholic Church , and the writings of Pope John Paul II.

On the average, about 15 minutes. Praying all seven Hours takes about one and half hours per day.

No, Holy Mass is not offered on a regular basis; though from time to time priests do come to celebrate Holy Mass, whether when retreatants arrange for one to come for their retreat or priests themselves make an offering. All the necessary sacred vessels and vestments and vessels are available.
