A Foundation on Which to Build
Paving a Path for the Growth of Our Community
The Foundation for the Carmelites of Mary Ever Virgin was established through the generosity of friends and benefactors of the Carmelites of Mary Ever Virgin. The mission of the Foundation is to provide for the substantial costs of utilities, maintenance, repairs, and landscaping of the 90-year-old St. Emery Church and rectory and grounds which are home to the Carmelite Sisters. The Foundation is a 501(c)3 public charity and is completely separate from the Diocese of Bridgeport and from the Carmelites of Mary Ever Virgin. Any donations to the Foundation are used solely for its mission. A website with more information will be launched soon. Any donations given directly to the Carmelites of Mary Ever Virgin (also a 501(c)3 public charity) will remain with the Sisters for their personal needs: food, clothing, medical, and other expenses. May God reward you for your charity!
With Gratitude
The Sisters took up residence in Fairfield, Connecticut on April 15, 2023, the eve of Divine Mercy Sunday. Many volunteers, especially several Knights of Columbus Councils, have worked hard to prepare the new "monastery." The Sisters are tremendously grateful!
The Open House on September 30, 2023 was well attended! The Sisters wish to thank the many volunteers who helped to make it happen, and to thank the many visitors who came. Your interest, support, and welcome mean so much to them. As they begin living fully their contemplative vocation in their new monastery, they remember you and your intentions in prayer.
