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.
For the safety of all, especially the Sisters who live on our campus, please refrain from coming to Weber Center if you are not feeling well.

A Spirituality Named Compassion with Rev. Matthew Fox

Join us in prayer….
O God of infinite mercy,
you restore the graces we have squandered,
and you forget our sins of indifference.
You wait for us to return to you again and again. Grant us that same patience with each other.
We pray this in the name of Jesus,
who lives and reigns with you
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God forever and ever. Amen.
