Building our Future
One Stone at a Time
Building a Monastery
to Last a Thousand Years
Rooted in the ancient Carmelite tradition and devoted to a life of prayer and sacrifice, the Nuns of Fairfield are building a monastery that will stand as a beacon of faith for generations to come. In silence and simplicity, their hidden lives are offered for the Church and the world, radiating a love that reaches far beyond cloister walls. By restoring the beauty and craftsmanship of old, they are creating not only a home for their community but a lasting witness to God’s presence in our time—an invitation for all to join in this work of faith, hope, and renewal.
“The Church knows well that your silent and secluded life, in the external solitude of the cloister, is a leaven of renewal and of the presence of the Spirit of Christ in the world. … They offer God an excellent sacrifice of praise, and by producing abundant fruits of holiness they are an honor and example to the people of God … a source of heavenly graces.”
— St. Teresa of Avila
