Come and See Discernment Retreat

Our “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. To learn more about what to expect at a Come and See retreat click here.

Our next discernment retreat weekend will be September 8-10, 2023 at our Motherhouse in St. Catharine, Kentucky. Please check back again for details and registration.

Mini-Retreats

We offer short retreats online several times a year, including during Lent and Advent, to give you more prayer and discernment opportunities.

We will be scheduling new mini-retreats for you in the near future. Be sure to check again for these opportunities to meet other discerners and to engage with our Sisters.

If you have any questions about these retreats, please contact us.
