This site belongs to the Carmelite Monks of Wyoming, a unique community of cloistered men, carrying on a tradition that stems from Old Testament times, and was given definitive form by St. John of the Cross and St. Teresa of Avila. The Carmel of the Immaculate Heart of Mary has the support of Bishop David L. Ricken of the Catholic Diocese of Cheyenne.

The monks in this new contemplative monastery live a life of faithful orthodoxy to the Magisterium, where joy and peace abound in a manly, agrarian way of life. They live a full, reverent, and traditional Carmelite liturgical life, with the Divine Office and the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass being prayed in Latin with Gregorian Chant.

While the site does not abound with what are usually considered resources, it does provide a nice glimpse of cloistered monastic life. The graphics and text on the site are inspiring and could be used as a meditation.
