IHM Motherhouse Tours
We offer tours of the renovated Motherhouse by appointment. The tour program is facilitated by the River Raisin Institute, a nonprofit organization founded by the sisters in 2003 to run educational programming on sustainability. The focus of the tour is sustainability and the "green design" features of the renovated Motherhouse.

The two-hour tour program starts with a video presentation called "The Blue Nuns Go Green," which gives an overview of why the sisters believe sustainability is a moral mandate for the 21st century and the sustainable renovation of their Motherhouse. The video is followed by a guided tour of the Motherhouse and its sustainable design features, including the geothermal heating and cooling system, the gray water recycling system, and other energy efficient and environmentally friendly features of the renovation.

The tour fee is $10 per person and $5 per student.
If you or your group would like to schedule a tour, please contact Sharon Venier at 734-240-9754, e-mail our Tour Registrar, or download the tour flyer (PDF 1.4 MB). Note: This document requires Adobe Reader. If you don't have Adobe Reader, you can download the latest version.
