Cloistered Carmelite Nuns Leave New York for Silence and Solitude in Florida

A community of Cloistered Carmelite nuns, originally from Buffalo, New York, have bid farewell to the state and settled in Florida, seeking the peace and tranquility necessary for their contemplative life.

Despite their long history in Buffalo, the nuns made the difficult decision to relocate to the Diocese of St. Augustine in Florida, where they have already found comfort and established their new home.

The move, granted by Rome, allows the nuns to continue their lives of prayer and devotion without the distractions they faced in their former location.

This transition, although bittersweet, marks a new chapter for the Discalced Carmelite Monastery of the Little Flower of Jesus and its dedicated sisters.
