Whether you are looking for a quiet, contemplative introduction to religious life or you would like to experience the joy of ministry first-hand, the Vocations Team of the Dominican Sisters of Peace would like to welcome you to one of our programs. These events are free and are held at our Motherhouses, ministry sites, and convents around the country.
Check out this page frequently for more information about our many online and in-person discernment events.
Our in-person “Come and See” retreats give you and other discerning women an opportunity to meet our sisters by joining us for prayer, meals, presentations, conversation, and fun. You will have the opportunity to spend time with one of the Dominican Sisters of Peace to talk about your own vocation or to ask questions about discernment and religious life. The retreat also includes time for quiet personal prayer and reflection.
Plan now to join us for our next Come and See Discernment retreat, September 12-14, 2025 in Columbus, Ohio. For more information about this event, please reach out to Sr. June Fitzgerald or call or text 570-336-3991.
