Dominican Retreat - McLean Virginia

Dominican Retreat

An oasis of tranquility serving
both the spiritual and secular communities

"Nothing Can Separate Us From the Love of God"
(Romans 8:39)

Dominican Retreat, hidden on 12 acres of rolling lawn, nature trails, and shade trees in the heart of McLean, Virginia, has provided an oasis of peace, solitude, and renewal to thousands of people for over 40 years.

Dominican Retreat is open to anyone seeking spiritual renewal and prayer. The programs are available to individuals of all ages, faiths, and from all walks of life. Young and old, married and single, Catholics, as well as those of other religious faiths, all attend our programs.

Rooted in the Roman Catholic tradition, all weekend retreats and most day programs also offer the opportunity for celebration of the Eucharist and Reconciliation.

The Retreat House offers a variety of retreat programs designed to nurture the spiritual needs of women and men in today’s all too busy world. Through a retreat experience, you can gain a new perspective on God’s presence in your life.

We invite you to pause from your busy life, tour our web site, and consider attending one or more of the many programs being offered in 2010. Click here to take a virtual tour of our facilities.
