Queen of Peace Monastery
ABOUT the MONASTERY Contemplative nuns of the Order of Preachers (aka Dominicans), our monastery’s first sisters came to Canada in 1999 at the request of then-Master General Timothy Radcliffe OP. Queen of Peace Monastery, at the base of Cloudburst Mountain in the Upper Squamish Valley, was consecrated to God on the Feast of St. Dominic (August 8) 2012. We are now 16 sisters and candidates aged 30 – 85, with sisters from Canada, France, Africa and America. Like the first community of Apostles, we are gathered by God to seek His Face in prayer, common life, study and work, asking to “receive the Word from God the Father with one faith, contemplate Him with one heart, and praise Him with one voice”.
