Carmelite Monastery- Discalced Carmelite Nuns of Colorado

The Discalced Carmelite Nuns of Colorado operate a contemplative monastery in Lakewood, Colorado. This community represents the Discalced Carmelite tradition, a Roman Catholic religious order dedicated to prayer, spiritual contemplation, and the pursuit of union with God through a life of simplicity and detachment from worldly concerns. As a Christian church, visitors can expect to encounter worship centered on Catholic liturgy, including Mass and the sacraments. The monastery emphasizes the spiritual practices of prayer and meditation that have characterized Carmelite spirituality since the order's founding. While monastic communities are primarily devoted to their contemplative vocation rather than extensive parish services, they typically welcome visitors who wish to participate in their liturgical celebrations or seek spiritual direction. The Carmelite tradition values silence, solitude, and devotion as essential elements of religious life and spiritual growth.
