[graciandelamadrededios]

Astatement released by Bishop Michael F. Olson of the Diocese of Fort Worth, Texas:

December 2, 2025 With profound joy and gratitude to God, I am pleased to announce that the Holy See—through the Dicastery for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life—has granted permission for the establishment of a Discalced Carmelite Monastery in Northern Cooke County, Texas, in the Diocese of Fort Worth. This decision, confirmed by the favorable vote of the Dicastery and the permission of the President of the “Christ the King” Association of Discalced Carmelite Monasteries in the U.S.A., marks a moment of extraordinary grace for our local Church.

This foundation, the Carmel of Jesus Crucified, will be a place where the beauty of contemplative life radiates outward into the world. Through prayer, silence, work, and sacrifice, the Discalced Carmelite nuns will accompany the faithful and intercede for the needs of our communities.

New Discalced Carmelite Monastery to be established in the Diocese of Fort Worth, Texas - The Catholic Travel Guide:

The six nuns will come from Carmelite monasteries connected to the Christ the King Association of Discalced Carmelite Monasteries….a federation of Carmelite monasteries across the country. Along with those nuns are expected to come two women in formation for religious life, he said.

The Monastery will begin its life in Texas with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, scheduled for December 8, the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception, at a temporary monastery location.
