Located on the 13-acre site before you, The Villas at Dominican Village was founded in 1992 under the direction of Sister Helen Butler to address the growing need for housing for retirees. This non-profit rental community and assisted living residence has a mission to support the dignity and sacredness of each person while fostering a sense of family.  Residents have the opportunity to retain their independence while interacting as a community.  The Village was built on the sites of what once was Queen of the Rosary Academy (QRA) as well as the sisters’ original apple orchard, and part of Our Lady of Prouille Retreat Center.
