Our Carmelite calling is in the tradition of St. Teresa of Avila and St. John of the Cross. In the context of our troubled world, we are called to re-create a contemplative presence, integrating solitude and silence in an atmosphere of sisterly communion.

As directed by St. Teresa of Avila, our life is aimed toward service of the Mystical Body of Christ; through prayer and contemplation of the things of God we are spiritually sustained by solitude and a life of simplicity.

St. Teresa regarded this manner of living as a manifestation of a theological life at the service of the Church. It affirmed that we are not here for ourselves alone but also for the People of God.

In keeping with the style of a Teresian Carmel we attempt to assume responsibility for an overflow of contemplation by welcoming visitors.

We thereby spread love for prayer among our friends and acquaintances as we share the Good News of God's Word, Jesus Christ. For those seeking His presence in their lives, Jesus is the source of all courage, hope, love and peace.
