Weber Retreat & Conference Center is a vibrant, spiritual setting
where people of all faiths seek, engage, and grow in greater awareness.
Our Roots
A ministry of the Adrian Dominican Sisters since 1970, Weber Retreat & Conference Center is rooted in the Dominican foundations of study, prayer, community, and ministry.
Weber Center is a place for people of all faiths to experience world-class programming; enjoy quiet spaces for individual prayer, meditation, and contemplation; and for nonprofits to host their programs in a state-of-the-art affordable facility.
Weber Center is situated on 100 acres of wooded land on the campus of the Adrian Dominican Sisters’ Motherhouse in southeast Michigan.

Great presentations … always [done] with such love. Thank you.
– Angela
I registered for the event just because I love Weber Center's peaceful environs and needed a retreat. Little did I expect the mind-awakening experience that [presenter Ilia Delio] provided. ...Her message was transforming, and I am most grateful.
- Aladean
The setting is wonderful, quiet, comfortable, nurturing, a ‘nesting place,’ a resting place.
– Margaret
These Saturdays with Esther and my fellow meditators is truly a lifeline for me, a moment to step out of ‘clock time’ and into ‘sacred time.’
– Kathleen
Great place! Relaxing, good food, great weekend.

Thank you for an amazing weekend. Couldn’t have been better!

Christmas is approaching fast. The Weber Center Shop offers amazing art work, some of which is available online. Many of these unique art items are created by our Adrian Dominican Sisters or by those connected to their ministries.
The watercolor print "Hibiscus" is created by Sister Janet Wright, OP. She is known for her beautiful watercolors, using motifs from nature. The print is on 11” x 14” heavyweight paper (image 10” x 13”).
Cuadros panels are stitched and embroidered three-dimensional fabric pieces made in Peru. These Cuadros are a means for women to support themselves and their families in a time of economic and political hardship.
Size: 10” x 10” x 0.75”; weight approx. 4 oz.
