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.

tradition and way of life as is proper to monks. The particular charism of the Carmelite Monks of Wyoming rests upon four pillars of equal importance: Filial Devotion to the Blessed Mother, the Primitive Carmelite Rule, the Extraordinary Form of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass according to the Carmelite Rite, and lastly the Discalced Carmelite spirituality and way of life as inspired by Ss. John of the Cross and Teresa of Jesus. Concretely, the Carmelite Monks are the only monastery of contemplative, cloistered monks within the Carmelite Order. Their life is characterized by dedicated prayer and selfless penance, manual labor and a joyful communal way of life much like what you read in the life of St. Therese of the Child Jesus, the “Little Flower”.
der. The Carmelites strive to be ever faithful to His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI, the Bishop of the Diocese of Cheyenne and their own rich Carmelite liturgical and spiritual tradition. 
the necessary background and reference checks have been completed. The Carmelite Monks of Wyoming are truly receiving the highest caliber of young men in pursuit of the monastic priesthood and brotherhood. The generous response of the youth is a particularly clear manifestation of the desires of the Holy Spirit to see this charism flourish for the benefit of us all. As the monks are quick to say, “There is not a shortage of vocations, but only a shortage on housing.”
