Welcome to Marian Woods

A Faith-Centered Home for Women Religious

A peaceful, faith-centered community in Hartsdale, New York where Sisters continue life together in prayer, companionship, and care.

A Home Built on Faith, Community, and Care

For more than two decades, Marian Woods has provided a nurturing home for women religious. Sponsored by The Carmelite System, our community honors a lifetime of service by offering compassionate care in a setting grounded in faith.

 

Here, residents are supported not only in their physical needs, but in their spiritual and communal lives as well.

Many Charisms. One Shared Spirit.

The Sisters of Marian Woods come from several religious congregations, including the Sisters of Mercy, Franciscan Sisters of Peace, Dominican Sisters, Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament, and the Society of the Holy Child Jesus. Over the years, Sisters from other Congregations have joined them.

Each congregation brings its own history, charism, and spiritual tradition, united by a shared commitment to faith, service, and community life.

Together, they continue that calling in a home created specifically for women religious.
