Connors Family Center

With more than 50,000 square feet of event and meeting space situated on an 80-acre estate in Dover, Massachusetts, the Connors Family Retreat and Conference Center, owned and operated by Boston College, provides a picturesque backdrop for meetings, conferences, retreats, corporate outings, weddings, and social functions. Fewer than 20 miles from Boston, the Connors Center offers a peaceful oasis in a surprisingly convenient location.

The Connors Center’s rich history dates back to 1902, when Arthur Davis and his wife, Mary, purchased the property and built the Davis family home and estate. The estate featured formal gardens and fieldstone paths designed by Olmsted and Vaux, famed designers of New York City’s Central Park. The Dominican Order purchased the estate in 1949, renaming it St. Stephen’s Priory, and subsequently built a 70-room addition.

In 2004, Boston College acquired St. Stephen's Priory, and in 2005 John (Jack) Connors '63 and his wife, Eileen '66, MSW '95 donated $10 million to establish the Connors Family Retreat and Conference Center. Today, the Connors Center hosts retreats, events, and meetings for Boston College and the broader community.
