The Carmelite Monastery of Santa Fe is a traditional community of Discalced Carmelite Nuns, dedicated to the charism of St. Teresa of Jesus. Nestled in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains in northern New Mexico, their monastery reflects the rugged simplicity of the surrounding high desert landscape.
Living a life of silence and solitude, prayer and work, the Carmel of Santa Fe follows the teachings of St. Teresa and draws inspiration from saints such as St. John of the Cross, St. Therese the Little Flower, and St. Elizabeth of the Trinity. With roots that trace back to Spain, this community of Carmelites faithfully upholds the teachings of the Catholic Church and welcomes those who feel called to embrace the evangelical counsels of obedience, chastity, and poverty.
