The Dominican Sisters of Mary hold vocation discernment retreats, auctions, dinners and other types of events. We’d love for you to join us at one of our gatherings!
The Sisters invite you to join them on a spiritual retreat that includes Holy Mass, Divine Office, Rosary and enjoying time with the Sisters. You will get to know the community’s Dominican charism and deeply rooted Eucharistic and Marian devotion. These retreats provide an opportunity to delve into graces He provides to listen to and respond to God’s call and plan for each of our lives. Please note: Vocational Discernment Retreats are for young women between the ages of 18 (out of high school) and 30.
There will be a separate high school retreat February 21-22, 2026. Registration will be coming soon.
Why do so many young women, often numbering well over a hundred, come for a twenty-four hour retreat? What is it that attracts them from all parts of the United States and Canada? For each young woman, the answer is different and the experience unique.
The following are a few glimpses of the retreats in the words of the young women who have experienced the retreats themselves:
“…I have to say that your retreat was more intense than any retreat I’ve ever gone on….”
“…you and your sisters are such a blessing and amazing example of purity and beautiful femininity, I can’t tell you what a joy it is for me to see you!…”
“I just want to tell you how much fun I had on your retreat and that if I do have a vocation to be a Sister, I think I would be a Sister of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist…”
