The Carmelite Monastery of Jackson, located in Mississippi since 1951, is a small community of Discalced Carmelite Nuns following the traditions of St. Teresa of Avila and St. John of the Cross. Their contemplative presence aims to serve the Mystical Body of Christ through prayer and contemplation, while also welcoming visitors to share the love for prayer and spread the Good News of Jesus Christ.
With prayer as the center and purpose of their life, the Carmelite Nuns of Jackson find joy and intimacy with Jesus, which in turn teaches them to love their neighbors. Their apostolate is contemplative, focusing on a simple life of prayer, and their community fosters a family-like atmosphere with a balance between solitude, study, work, and community acts.
