The Carmelite Sisters invite you to participate in our upcoming vocation weekend retreat in JUNE 2026 at our Motherhouse in Germantown, New York. You will have the opportunity to meet the Sisters, know more about the religious life, talk to our vocation director who will guide you in your discernment and enjoy silence and solitude.  The JUNE retreat is a Spirituality tract entitled "Into the Land of Carmel." The conference will be about the Carmelite Order- its origin, spirituality and Saints. We will visit the National Shrine of Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Middletown, NY and see its beautiful stained glass windows, pray before the relics of Saint Therese, Mass and Confessions.  We encourage attendees to arrive the day BEFORE the scheduled retreat. If you have any questions, please email Sister Helena of Mary at srhelena@stmhcs.org or call at 845-891-3943.
