Dominican Center at Marywood Relocates
Dominican Center at Marywood, a ministry of the Dominican Sisters ~ GrandRapids, is moving west down the street from the Marywood Campus at 2025
Fulton Street East to the Aquinas College campus at 1700 Fulton Street East.
Starting Jan. 3, Dominican Center Marywood at Aquinas College opened its
doors to visitors from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m., Monday through Friday. "Come January 3,
2022, Dominican Center Marywood at Aquinas
College will open in what historically was the Bukowski Pastoral Center," said
Prioress Sandra Delgado OP. "This building has been re-formed to house
ministry offices, space for programs and retreat experiences, community gatherings, and prayer."
"We are excited to walk beside Aquinas College—a Sister ministry founded by our Congregation. May this new space on campus offer new dimensions in the
intersection of study, prayer, community, and service to the Aquinas community of students, staff, and faculty, and with other partners and friends," said Sister
Delgado.
Meanwhile, Michael Wood has joined the Dominican Center Village as interim director. He is a Dominican Associate, spiritual director, and permanent deacon
who serves at St. Mary Magdalen Parish in Kentwood.
Earlier in 2021, the Dominican Center's Motherhouse (Marywood) was sold to PK Development Group and Third Coast Development (3CPK) to transfer ownership. Under 3CPK's ownership, the Motherhouse, including the space occupied by Dominican Chapel/Marywood and Dominican Center, will be converted into a "state-of-the-art" senior community, which will provide affordable senior housing using low-income tax credits.
As to whether Sunday Assembly can come together safely continues to be explored.
