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.
