The Motherhouse of the Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist is the mother house and formation center of a Roman Catholic religious institute of women religious located in Ann Arbor, Michigan, within the Diocese of Lansing. Unlike a territorial or personal parish, the community functions as a religious house of the Dominican Order tradition rather than a parish church, serving as the motherhouse for the sisters' novitiate, formation, and community life.
The Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist are known for their apostolate of Catholic education and their devotion to the Blessed Sacrament, reflected in the congregation's name. According to publicly available sources, the sisters trace their roots to a small band of women religious who established the community in Ann Arbor in the late twentieth century, drawing inspiration from the broader Dominican tradition of preaching, prayer, and teaching.[1]
Because the community is a religious house rather than a parish, it is non-parochial in character; the sisters who reside there participate in the sacramental life of the wider Diocese of Lansing while maintaining their own community chapel and rule of life centered on the Eucharist and devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary under the title Mother of the Eucharist.
History
Limited independently verifiable sources are available describing the precise founding history of the motherhouse at 4597 Warren Road in Ann Arbor. According to general accounts of the congregation, the Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist were established near the close of the twentieth century by a small group of religious women committed to a renewed observance of Dominican religious life, with an emphasis on Catholic education and Eucharistic devotion.[2] The congregation subsequently grew and established its motherhouse and novitiate in Ann Arbor, within the territory later reorganized as the Diocese of Lansing.
No confirmed founding date for the motherhouse property itself is documented in available sources, and this article does not assert a specific year of establishment.
