After spending two years living in a rented house close to the St Teresa of Avila parish in the Kognito district, we recently relocated to the small convent that was constructed on three hectares of land owned by the Order in the Apessito district, which is also close to the aforementioned parish.<\/p>\n

A year ago, this seemed like a dream, but thanks to the generosity of many Spanish benefactors, including lay Christians from the Sagrada Familia<\/em> and Carmen di Castell\u00f3n de la Plana<\/em>, as well as others who climb the Carmelite Desert mountain in Las Palmas<\/em> (Benic\u00e0ssim), this has become a reality. Thanks to these contributions, we were able to finance almost half of the work, with the rest being completed by our Iberian Province.<\/p>\n

We ask for your prayers so that, through our daily dedication, we may lay the foundations of this new Discalced Carmelite community and promote the growth of the charism of Teresa of Jesus and John of the Cross in these African lands.<\/p>\n
