Carmelite Vocation Mission Retreat
The Carmelite Sisters invite you to participate in our Vocation Mission Retreat on October 14-20, 2025 at our Motherhouse in Germantown, New York. This event will give you a glimpse of our special mission to caring for the elderly in a skilled care setting, our mission and philosophy and our core values. We will have a day trip to visit Teresian House in Albany, New York, one of the Homes operated by the Carmelite Sisters. You will have the opportunity for a tour of the facility, meet the Sisters and ask questions and watch a resident centered activity.
Carmelite life is both contemplative and apostolic. The retreat part of the experience will be spent at our Motherhouse in Germantown, NY. You will have the opportunity to meet the Avila Sisters, know more about the religious life, liturgy of the hours, Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, Confessions, hear a conference on discernment, talk to our vocation director, enjoy silence and solitude and enjoy the beautiful Fall foliage along the Hudson River.
