The Carmelite Monastery in Littleton, CO is a contemplative community of Discalced Carmelite Nuns who live a life of prayer and sacrifice. They follow the original Constitutions of the Discalced Nuns of the Order of the Blessed Virgin of Mount Carmel, as written by St. Teresa of Avila. The nuns wear the complete traditional religious habit and dedicate themselves to the highest degree of loving God with all their heart, soul, strength, and mind.
Established in 1947 at the invitation of Archbishop Urban J. Vehr, the Carmelite Monastery in Littleton is a place where the nuns observe a monastic life, fulfilling the evangelical counsels of poverty, chastity, and obedience. They live in a cloistered environment, offering their lives in prayer and penance for priests, all souls, and the needs of the Denver Archdiocese. The monastery provides a space for the nuns to live in solitude and intimacy with God, following the spiritual tradition of the Church and the teachings of St. Teresa of Avila.
