There are moments when God invites us to step into a deeper silence — a silence where His voice becomes clearer, gentler, and more personal than we ever expected. If you have felt this longing, we warmly welcome you to a Come and See Weekend at the Dominican Monastery of Mary the Queen.

This weekend retreat offers young women a chance to experience our contemplative Dominican life from within: to pray with us, to rest in God’s presence, and to listen for the quiet movements of grace.

A Come and See Weekend is a simple, peaceful opportunity to spend time inside our enclosure and share in the rhythm that shapes our life. It is not a commitment, only an invitation to encounter God more deeply and to discern His call with clarity.

During the weekend, you will:

• Join the community for the Liturgy of the Hours
• Spend time in Eucharistic adoration and silent prayer
• Attend Mass with the nuns
• Experience the beauty of Dominican study
• Share meals in the monastic rhythm
• Meet some of the nuns and hear their vocation stories
• Enjoy quiet time for reflection and personal prayer
• Ask questions in a gentle, unhurried setting

This is a time to breathe, to listen, and to let God speak to your heart.
