What's Happening

March 8, 2022, Adrian, Michigan – In the Northern Hemisphere, we are approaching the time when we sense that Spring is just around the corner. Join a community of friends to celebrate the Spring Equinox, to welcome spring, and to say goodbye to winter.

Weber Retreat and Conference Center hosts a celebration of the Spring Equinox from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Sunday, March 20, 2022. We gather to celebrate Mother Earth and to grow our courage and commitment to all beings who call Earth home. If you have a poem, a song, a gift for our sacred space, or a funny story, bring it with you. 

The in-person gathering is free and no registration is required. For more information, contact Weber Center at 517-266-4000. Weber Center is located on the campus of the Adrian Dominican Sisters’ Motherhouse, Adrian. 

March 2, 2022, Adrian, Michigan – The General Council of the Adrian Dominican Sisters issued the following statement in support of Pope Francis’ call for prayer and fasting for the people of Ukraine.

We join Pope Francis in his call to make Ash Wednesday a day of prayer and fasting for peace in Ukraine – “a day to be close to the suffering of the people of Ukraine,” recognizing that “we are all brothers and sisters.” 

As women of faith, we pray fervently that “the guns be silenced” throughout the world – and that the peace of God prevails.

Members of the Adrian Dominican Sisters’ General Council are Sisters Patricia Siemen, OP, Prioress; Mary Margaret Pachucki, OP, Vicaress and General Councilor; Frances Nadolny, OP, Administrator and General Councilor; and Patricia Harvat, OP, and Elise D. García, OP, General Councilors.
