Carmelites of Our Lady of Grace

ocdtx2_profile_2020.jpg

Our contemplative Carmelite life is one of loving adoration, prayer and sacrifice fed by the daily Eucharist and the chanting of the Liturgy of the Hours in union with the whole Church. 

Through the inspiration and guidance of our Blessed Mother Mary and Saint Elijah, we strive for an ever-deeper union with God in an atmosphere of silence and solitude supported by a joyful, caring Community.   This bond of love strengthens our apostolate of being channels of grace to the whole world.
