Friends of the Olean Meditation Center who complement our mission:

The Center of Solitude

The Center of Solitude opened in 1992 on a gorgeous 60-acre hillside site in Allegany County, NY. Founded by Sr. Donna Marie Paolini and a partner organization with OMC, its mission is to enable retreatants to grow spiritually in solitude and silence.
