The priests and brothers priests and brothers follow a 800 year old tradition of spirituality under the official title, “The Brothers of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel.”
As followers of the Old Testament prophet, Elijah, they seek to live in God's presence and call people to a deeper faith in God's faithful presence and the establishment of the justice of God's reign.
The monastery is now promoted as a Spiritual Centre and Conference Centre. The facilities can be used by groups to pursue their own spiritual and educational programs.
