It has been long months since we have sent our greetings and given you news of our Community, and even now, time does not permit us to write a lengthy letter with news. But we cannot let these holiest days of the year pass without letting you know of our prayers and sending our best wishes.
You may wish to take a look at the many new book titles we have added to our web site. Read More….

In COMMUNITY NEWS we remember the poor souls in Purgatory and discuss family visits – we were delighted to receive one Sister’s family from Ohio who brought fresh produce from their produce stand. Read More….
We come to you this time with an invitation. It is an invitation to pray with us during a novena of Masses being offered from September 7-15. We are asking no favor for ourselves or for anyone. We are having this novena of Masses offered in reparation to the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary.
We added a chaplet in honor of the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary to our website, and we have finally completely moved into our new building! We also try to answer a frequently made demand from our readers…the vocation stories of the Sisters. Read More….
As we celebrate this, our patronal feast, we are happy to announce that our new building is finished; we only have the work of furnishing it and installing cabinets. We are also continuing to develop our website to offer more sacramental. Read More….

This is the month of the Rosary we take a few moments to speak about the value of this important sacramental.

Our building project is coming along slowly but surely, and we are grateful it will be finished soon. Our community has grown by two, as we celebrated both a clothing and profession ceremony in the past few months.
Who becomes a Sister? Our answer is that God calls and draws all sorts! The Sisters come from a variety of backgrounds and have a multitude of different personalities. The wonderful thing is to see how Our Lord blends and uses all these personalities and talents for His greater honor and glory. And you would be amazed at how adept He is at that! Read More….
In this month of St. Joseph, we ask aid in adding an edition to our Monastery to house the many young vocations who wish to give themselves to God. Please consider making a donation to this great cause. Read More….
We are happy to share the joyful news of the Reception of the Holy Habit of Mount Carmel. Clothing Day is always a most joyous day, a truly family day and, for the new Carmelite bride, a day of beginning in earnest the life of consecration to Our Lord Jesus Christ and His Church. We describe the different parts of the habit and why we wear them, especially the brown scapular.
We designed a new Brown Scapular having all the traditional, time-honored symbols and message of this favored sacramental of Holy Mother Church, including washable woven emblems and 100% wool, and if you do not already own and wear a scapular, we urge you to learn more about it! Read More….
