The Carmelite Monastery is down the street from the Dearborn. It has been there since 1896. It is a church and a house put together. The women that we saw there were very wise. The nuns stay inside the monastery, grow crops in their backyard, and pray for the community to be safe and clean. Working with Ms. Daniels, they gave the land for the Tot Lot next to the monastery. Their door is open all the time. We think that no matter what happens, the monastery will always be around.
