            The New Mount Carmel Foundation, Inc. was organized in 2009 with the sole aim to see the Monks of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel living their life of prayer and intercession for the world at the New Mount Carmel.  Inspired by the need for a new monastery as the Carmelite Monks of Wyoming rapidly grow in number and with a deep faith that God is at work in this young community of monks, the New Mount Carmel Foundation was created to purchase suitable mountain property in the Rocky Mountains and to construct a beautiful gothic monastery, all in the interests of providing for the continued growth of the community, the endurance of their monastic tradition and the full realization of their mission in the world.

            The New Mount Carmel Foundation is served by a Board of Directors – laymen who have a deep love for the monks and a firm desire to see the monastery established where a New Mount Carmel may blossom here in America.  With this end in mind, the Foundation shall receive charitable contributions from the Catholic faithful, generous individuals, and charitable foundations.  The Directors have a moral and legal obligation to be good stewards of these most generous gifts, investing the funds wisely and growing them until the total funds necessary to purchase mountain land and construct the monastery have been raised.  The Foundation’s Directors generously donate their professional talents and expertise in an effort to eliminate any expenses that might reduce the funds available for the mission of the New Mount The monks live a life of prayer and sacrificeCarmel Foundation, Inc.  Upon facilitating the purchase of a solitary, mountainous property in keeping with the monastic tradition, the Foundation’s delight will be to donate to the Monks of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel the completed monastery and land for the protection and preservation of the Carmelite monastic life.

            The establishment of the Foundation is intended to greatly assist not only the Carmelites, but also the lay faithful. By ensuring the building of the monastic structures necessary for the temporal needs of the monks, these Carmelites will be able to live out their life of worship and sacrifice. Through the fruitfulness of this spiritual life, the monks are empowered to care for the many needs of souls. This spiritual fatherhood is centered on the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the ministering of the Sacraments, and the other spiritual endeavors.

            The New Mount Carmel Foundation, Inc. entirely independent of and receives no financial support from the Diocese of Cheyenne. 

           As professional businessmen, the Directors of the New Mount Carmel Foundation are mindful that every one of us wants to leave his mark in this world.  Some of us choose to build schools, others community centers and still others donate to the missions; each of these contributions is absolutely necessary and critical for the good of souls.  In like manner, some religious are called to teach, some to preach and others to feed the poor, but it is also fitting and indeed very necessary that there be souls, like the Carmelite Monks of Wyoming, who are completely ordered towards the contemplation of God.  Is it not therefore also a wonderful thing that God is calling certain souls, perhaps yourself to use your resources to see a New Mount Carmel established?

            In the last one hundred years, similar projects have only been undertaken a handful of times; this is a unique opportunity to impact the lives of thousands upon thousands, perhaps even millions of souls.  The construction of a gothic monastery requires courage and, yes extensive resources too.  The New Mount Carmel Foundation is seeking magnanimous and generous souls to assist in realizing the Lord’s vision here.  When we simply consider the magnificent monasteries of Europe and the patrons who built these glorious edifices that stand still today, we realize that the patrons of a monastery are people of deep faith.  By their generosity the patrons of old not only provided for us by building monasteries to house monks and nuns to pray for the generations to come, but they also built a worthy dwelling place for our Eucharistic Lord.  It is no wonder that the present monks and nuns now living in the ancient monasteries of Europe continue to pray for the repose of the souls of their founding patrons.  The Monks of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel desire to do likewise! 

           We each must one day breathe forth our last breath and render an account to the Lord.  Wouldn’t it be a wonderful thing if Jesus told us on that day that we built His house and the house of His servants by helping to fund a New Mount Carmel of America?  When we ponder the generations and generations of vocations that shall be fulfilled within the monastery’s walls and the countless Holy Masses that shall be offered within the Church, what would we not give to see the Foundation’s vision realized?

          We hope that God may be calling you to this great work for surely the Lord has indescribable graces and blessings in store for those generous souls who help His religious. 

“Today if you shall hear his voice, harden not your hearts.” – Psalm. 94. 8.
