Mount Carmel Monastery, La Plata

The red brick church at the Monastery. Built in 1954. The church is open to the public. Mass is held daily in the early morning.

The monastery was founded in 1790 by four Carmelite nuns. It was the first monastery of religious women in Colonial America. The monastery is still the active home of the discalced Carmelite Nuns of the Carmel of Port Tobacco. The Carmelite life is a call to prayer, tempered with hard work and shared community.
