BLESSINGS UPON YOU!

OUR LADY OF CONFIDENCE 
CARMELITE MONASTERY

The nuns of The Discalced Order of Carmelites charism is prayer. They are called to pray unceasingly for priests, deacons, seminarians, and all humanity in faith, joy, and humility so as to lighten the weight of their daily burdens and responsibilities. Their self-emptying love for others is given knowing that Jesus gave the ultimate witness through His death and resurrection. With the Father, He longs and waits for all of His children to come back to Him. That is our prayer for all who visit this website.

HISTORY

In 1958 the bishop invited the Carmelite nuns to Savannah in the firm belief and concern that the efforts to evangelize the Diocese of Savannah would bear fruit only if supported by prayer.

CHARISM

It is their special joy to pray and sacrifice for the priests, seminarians, and deacons of their diocese so that they will be faithful, courageous, and holy in their vocations as they lead souls to Christ.

“All of us who wear this holy Carmelite habit are called to prayer and contemplation. This is what we were founded for. We are descended from those holy fathers of ours on Mount Carmel, those who went in search of that treasure – the priceless pearl we are talking about...”

- ST. TERESA OF AVILA
