Discalced Nuns of the Order of our Lady of Mount Carmel

Following Jesus in the Nun's contemplative Teresian Carmel

Our Order is a religious family which is rooted in the Holy Scriptures, with the prophet Elijah,

and in the tradition which saw the birth of the Rule for the first hermits of Mount Carmel.  Its

charism attained maturity in Teresa of Jesus and John of the Cross, both doctors of the Church. Its members are formed in a living way, being helped to enter this tradition by prayer, study and a Teresian way of life.

We see every challenge as an opportunity, and this initiative helps us ensure that our partners are better prepared to manage the unique situations they find themselves in. We are invested in an innovative approach that empowers our community and delivers the support they need, when they need it.

Through our Support Services, we have the potential to make a real and positive change in the community. This is one of our key areas of focus here at Carmelite Monastery of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Immaculate Heart of Mary, and a source of much success for our Non-Profit Organization. Get in touch with us today and see how you can lend a helping hand with this program.

What do we mean by "charism"?

The word is not new: it comes from Greek word "Charis" meaning a gift, grace given gratuitously, not deserved, due earned. It implies goal or purpose or mission to fulfill the Church.
