Dominican Center Marywood ~ A Heart Center For Those of All Faith and Walks of Life

Our spirituality center was established by the Dominican Sisters ~ Grand Rapids to provide a place where people from all faiths and walks of life can learn from others who walked before them — as well as walk with others on the journey today.

Dominican Center is a ministry of hope. We affirm the need for collaboration and community so all may flourish.

Known as the Order of Preachers, Dominicans follow in the footsteps of patrons St. Dominic and St. Catherine of Siena who spoke and lived the Word of God. They are among many women and men of history whose ideas, values, beliefs, and manner of living during their time and place in history changed humanity. These spiritual giants courageously questioned justice and systemic thinking and behaviors, and in doing so, changed history.
