The Monastery of Our Lady of the Rosary is a monastery of cloistered Dominican nuns located at 543 Springfield Avenue, in Summit, New Jersey (United States). It was founded in 1919 by Mother Mary Imelda Gauthier and thirteen sisters from the Perpetual Rosary Monastery in Union City, with the goal of a monastery fully integrated into the Order of Preachers. The community numbers approximately twenty-two nuns.
The monastery combines perpetual adoration of the Blessed Sacrament with the prayer of the rosary. The chapel is open to the public for Mass and adoration. The monastery's gift shop, The Cloister Shoppe, open Monday through Saturday, offers books, religious articles, and items made by the nuns, such as soaps and candles.
