Who we are

We are a family of eight Sisters, descendants of a group of Carmelite nuns who came to Delgany from Dublin in 1844. The nuns came to establish a place of prayer, the ‘raison d’être’ of the Carmelite life, with God at its very centre.

After the years of the Great Famine, the church was built in 1852, which still serves the local Mass centre for the Pari.

A community of friends

Carmelite Contemplative life is about relationship – our relationship with God in prayer and our relationship with one another in small communities of friends centered around our friend Jesus. Carmelite nuns are contemplative communities of women dedicated to the service of God and his people through personal prayer in silence and solitude and community prayer. The nuns work to support themselves.

To live our Carmelite contemplative life is to immerse oneself into life. Our Carmelite way encourages an attentive listening to God’s Word, for God’s presence and activity in one’s life, and a willingness to be transformed by that love in “the gentle tradition of Our Lady”.

God who sees you with joy, loves to surprise you with his gifts, and gives the very best to those who leave the choice to Him.

To say “Yes” to what God gives and asks is one of the greatest challenges of the Christian life. It is said of St. Teresa of Avila that she “fell in love with God” and wished that others would do the same. To live our Carmelite contemplative life is to enter into deep relationship with God and others. It is to enter into the Living Flame of God’s Love.

“Love is the end for which we were created.” (St. John of the Cross).

Monastic weekends are available for single women (aged 25-45) interested in finding out more about a Carmelite contemplative vocation. They will share in our life of prayer, liturgy, work and community for a few days.

Carmelite Monastery Delgany History

History of Carmelites in Delgany

The Carmelite presence in Delgany dates back to 1844 when, at the request of the Parish Priest of nearby Kilquade, a monastic community was founded from Warrenmount in Dublin. Our monastery was dedicated on 7th. December, 1844, to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The picture to the left shows some early building work to the parish church and the monastery.

In July, 2005, following a rebuilding and modernisation programme, we opened and rededicated our new monastery. The new building in the heart of Delgany symbolises what we believe to be the universal call to places apart. It consolidates over 160 years of prayer on this site, and points to the renewal and growth of our Carmelite essence.

The will of God for your life is simply that you submit yourself to Him each day and say, "Father, Your will for today is mine. Your pleasure for today is mine. Your work for today is mine. I trust You to be God. You lead me today and I will follow."
