Sinsinawa Mound

USA / Illinois / Menominee / County Road Z, 585
Home of the Sinsinawa Dominican sisters, Sinsinawa Mound is visible for miles in the Tri-State area.

Sinsinawa Mound has been called the “Hill of Grace." Since 1847, over 3,200 women have ascended its slopes to take their vows as Sinsinawa Dominicans—then departed, inspired, to preach and teach the Gospel in the United States and throughout the world. Today, the Mound still serves as the Motherhouse for more than 600 Sisters. About 230 Associates stand committed to the Congregation’s ideals.
