Available here are some stories and thoughts from a few of the sisters who live and work at the Carmel.  Currently, there are eight fully professed sisters in residence and two visiting sisters.  From time to time, other visitors include young women who are in the process of discernment, with two or three more scheduled to visit soon.  These live in the enclosure for periods ranging from a few days for an initial stay to a few months for those who come back for further formation and study. It is, of course, a special person who is called to the life of contemplation in Carmel.  The sisters at the Carmel of Maria Regina are cheerful, amiable, and happy to reach out, especially to the women who are feeling called to learn more about the hidden life.
