Upcoming Events


The month of June 

devoted to

the Sacred Heart of Jesus

We are beginning the month of June,

the month devoted in a special way

to the honor of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

In accord with tradition, for the entire month,

from Monday to Friday after the 7:00 PM Mass (in Polish),

we will pray the Litany of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

 

Feast of Corpus Christi

Sunday, June 11

On Sunday, June 11th the Feast of Corpus Christi we will have a Eucharistic procession following the 12:00 PM Holy Mass. We will have four altars set up in our Garden where we will pause to adore, proclaim a Gospel passage, offer intercessions, and have benediction.

Come and be a part of the sacred, visible display of our faith and public proclamation that Jesus is present in the Holy Eucharist. Join our joyful procession of praise singing hymns and bearing witness to the world that Jesus Christ is truly present in the Blessed Sacrament.

 

After Holy Mass and Eucharistic Procession, we invite you to their picnic in our monastery garden!

Our Shrine


The beauty of Mount Carmel and the spiritual traditions of this place are the reasons why in the thirteenth century our religious family is born in the Church. Surrounding peace and solitude, meditation on the Word of God and work are the values uniting the hermits of Carmel around Mary, their sister and mother. In the sixteenth century thanks to the efforts of Saint Teresa of Jesus and Saint John of the Cross, we focus on new aspects and a special tasks related to the teaching of prayer. Today we do it in various ways through: retreats, days of recollection, catechesis, scientific and publishing activities, running retreat homes, parishes and sanctuaries as well as missionary work.

In all of this, however, we are called above all to prayer which is life, and to teaching life to be a prayer!
