Mission statement/description
These nuns are consecrated women of the Teresian Carmel living in sisterly communion, holding the lamp of contemplation until they become a living flame of love. They are cloistered Carmelite nuns, called to live the Gospel and the charism of Saint Teresa through a hidden life of unceasing contemplative prayer in the service of the Church. Standing in the presence of the living God they adore and intercede for all, becoming channels of spiritual energy and a prophetic witness of hope to the world.
