Vocation



We do not expect an applicant to be a mature contemplative from the beginning, but she must have the qualities necessary for living our way of life and growing toward the fullness of the Carmelite vocation:


  • The desire and determination to give oneself wholeheartedly to God and to others in a characteristically Carmelite life of prayer
  • Willingness to let go of all things in order to respond to the call of Christ.

  • The ability to get along with others in community life.
  • Sound judgment and common sense.
  • Good health.





Before beginning postulancy, a candidate must be at least 17 years old and have completed high school.


It is generally difficult for older women to adjust to the life of Carmel.  A candidate over 40 should show exceptional preparation in in all of the areas noted above.

Following a call

 "In the evening of life, we will be judged on love."
