I will spend my heaven doing good upon earth.

                                   - St. Therese of Lisieux

As Carmelites, we dedicate our lives to prayer, both vocal and contemplative, on behalf of the Church. Although we spend a portion of our day in manual labor, in imitation of the humble, laborious life lived by the Holy Family at Nazareth, contributing to our support, we are unable to do so entirely without your assistance. If Our Lord tells us in the Gospel of St. Matthew, “Whatsoever you do to the least of these, you do to me”, surely it is true, that whatsoever you do to His Spouses, you do to Him.

We humbly beg for your spiritual and material assistance for our Carmelite Community. Through your prayers and generous charity, you will enable us to continue our contemplative presence here in Brooklyn for the salvation of souls and the sanctification of priests, and so you too can participate in the Mission of our Carmel. Daily prayer and Holy Mass on the First Saturday of the month are offered in our Carmel for all of our beloved friends and benefactors.
