About Us
The Dominican Center originated on September 01, 1980, under the tutelage of Sister Charlotte Hoefer, OP and Sister Carol Johannes, OP, Prioress of the Adrian Dominicans. At its inception, the Center was established as non-profit and was named Dominican Center for Religious Development.
The Dominican Center offers opportunities for spiritual deepening and growth, spiritual breadth through study, sharing communal wisdom, reading the signs of the times and addressing the heresies of today. The Center seeks Truth (Dominican motto) and preaches the Word of God.
Today we want to draw attention to our renewed online presence, our website, programming, Bluesky and Facebook now named Dominican Center: Spirituality for Mission.
The current Director is Janice Brown, OP … 586.565.2526
The Dominican Center uses religious facilities in the area for seminars, meetings, and other offerings.
