The Carmel of Jesus, Mary and Joseph can be
traced back to a sixteenth century Spanish
Carmelite Monastery founded by Saint Teresa of
Jesus. Two daughter monasteries were established
in Mexico. In 1927, the Community established a
Carmel in California. Later, a monastery was
founded in Las Vegas, Nevada. It was discerned
that God was calling them to transfer to the
Lincoln Diocese. The Carmel of Jesus, Mary and
Joseph near Agnew was dedicated and consecrated
on December 14, 2001. The Carmelites devote
their lives to prayer, strive to live a life
hidden with Christ, and honor the Blessed Virgin
Mary.
