We currently own and operate two retreat houses. The Dominican Retreat and Conference Center, Niskayuna, NY, is a 10-acre property near Albany that has been serving God’s people since 1948. Its ministry includes programs for women, for those dealing with addictions, family programs, monthly Taize prayer, private and directed retreats, spiritual direction and many other ways to explore spiritual life.

The Dominican Pastoral Counseling Center offers counseling and dream workshops among other services. The center is located in the retreat house.

The Dominican Retreat, McLean, VA a 12-acre property is situated on a rolling hill not far from our nation’s capital. It offers similar programs of retreat for women throughout the year including programs for women with addictions, married couples, retreats for Spanish speaking people, centering prayer, days of reflection and others.

Programs on the Saints, Centering Prayer, preached weekends for women, for those concerned about addiction are among the many ways our founder's mission is carried out.
