In late 2011 our Holy Father Pope Benedict XVI declared 2012 a Year of Faith and so we greet you in this new year with the prayers of the entire monastery. May this new year be one of renewed faith in the Most Holy Trinity as we work with all our might to make much progress towards the realization of a New Mount Carmel.

The young men continue to inquire, so let us rededicate ourselves to serving Christ's Church through the building of this monastery for the Wyoming Carmelites. Surely the Lord has tremendous graces and blessings prepared for each of us in this new year, and for our Foundation, as we truly build this monastery with faith in the Providence of God.

We promise to keep you updated on our progress, but in the meantime we extend a sincere prayer for each of you that 2012 may be abundantly blessed through the intercession of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, Queen and Mother of the Carmelites!

During these holy days as we celebrate the Mystery of the Lord's Nativity at Bethlehem, we want to share with you the Christmas greetings of our entire Board of Directors and especially of the Carmelite Fathers and Brothers!

May the Child Jesus bless your home with His peace, His grace, and His light this Christmas as we rejoice at His Holy Birth.

Be certain of our continued prayers and gratitude for any generosity the Infant Savior may inspire during these final days of 2011 as we remain more committed than ever to the building of this cloistered monastery, this powerhouse of prayer in Wyoming's Rocky Mountains. With the land purchased and infrastructure installed to this solitary location, we now look toward the future and the completion of the architectural plans. Your generosity is deeply appreciated as we ask the Christ Child to reward you as He alone can!

Merry Christmas, beloved friends in Christ! May the day come quickly where we each might visit the monastery's chapel to hear the beautiful caroling of the monks and to encounter these Christmas mysteries in silent prayer!

Christmas has come early to the Foundation as we are pleased to unveil our recently completed and updated website. We hope that these pages will continue to be informative to all of you led here by the Providence of the Lord! Please let us know if there is anything we can do to make this website more user friendly as it is truly a "work in progress."

If you should for some reason have difficulty viewing these pages, please make sure that you have downloaded the most recent updates for your internet browser; this generally solves any difficulties you might encounter.

Again, enjoy and the gratitude of our Board to our dedicated web designer who has done this work for free out of the goodness of his heart! May this website be a helpful means to keep you informed of our efforts to build a traditional monastery to endure 1000 years.
