The red brick building at the end of Watson Avenue houses a community of Discalced Carmelite nuns who have chosen to live their lives in simplicity, prayer and a pondering of Scripture. They work, study, read and undertake leisure activities alone and together as a community that pledges allegiance to Christ. A gift shop sells icons, cards, and books and tapes on Christian living. There is a guest quarters for silent retreats. The monastery is part of the Diocese of Providence.
