Carmelite Nuns

Carmelite Nuns are cloistered monastic women dedicated to a life of prayer, contemplation, and community service within the Carmelite tradition, which emphasizes spiritual development through solitude and silence. Rooted in the 12th-century order founded in the Holy Land, they follow a rule emphasizing inner prayer, devotion, and commitment to God. Typically living in enclosed monasteries, they dedicate their lives to prayer for the world, often engaging in manual work and study as expressions of their faith. Their quiet, structured lifestyle aims to foster deep spiritual growth and serve as an intercessory presence through their prayer.
