In the Archdiocese of Milwaukee, religious orders and institutes for men and women joyfully follow Christ's call to love and serve. Living in close community, they pray, teach, heal and care for the needy, bringing God's light to our world. These faithful groups strengthen our Church family with their witness of hope and devotion. Explore their inspiring stories and ways to connect.

The archbishop of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee has given his approval and blessing to the Carmelite Hermits of the Trinity, who pray and sacrifice in a particular way for the archdiocese as well as for the whole Church and the entire world. The Father General of the Discalced Carmelite Order granted approval of our Carmelite title and spiritual affiliation with the Carmelite family.
The hermit lives a life hidden within the heart of the Mystical Body of Christ, his Church. While it is not appropriate for hermits to be engaged in the more visible works of the active apostolate, we serve the Church in a way which is no less apostolic in its fruitfulness. Moreover, because of the vital importance to souls of spiritual guidance and the widespread need for such counsel and encouragement, our daily work period is frequently spent in this charitable labor.

We are a contemplative/apostolic congregation consecrated to God through a life of prayer and reparation, from which flows our life of loving service in the care of the young and elderly. We pray, sacrifice and atone with an apostolic perspective. The apostolates to which we devote ourselves comprise the Christian upbringing of children and youth in homes for children, the care of the aging in retirement homes and nursing homes. We carry out these apostolates in our own homes so that community life may be maintained. Together we SEE, SERVE AND LOVE GOD IN ALL. (The cause for canonization of our foundress, Blessed Mary Teresa of St. Joseph, is in process in Rome.) We accept young women from the ages of age 18 to 35 with at least a high school education.

As cloistered nuns, we live the contemplative monastic life, under the Rule of St. Benedict with specifically Cistercian spirituality. Our order, founded in 1098, finds the heart of the Holy Rule in obedience, humility, silence, self-emptying, voluntary poverty, manual labor and above all that most excellent way: charity. We are dedicated to the daily Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the Holy Eucharist and the Divine Office. Our Office is sung in Cistercian chant in Latin. Study enables us to read and pray this beautiful and ancient language with understanding. Through our personal prayer of Sacred Scripture, study and work in silence within the monastic enclosure, we cultivate a continual worship of God or union with God.

Another important and major focus of our life is the ministry of our retreat house. Our abbey has been the site for many individuals and groups to find a path closer to God.

The Capuchin Franciscan Friars, a religious community of brothers and priests, were founded in 1528. Following St. Francis of Assisi, the Capuchins strove to live more simply, serve the poor and preach the Word of God. Those characteristics have remained the chief features of Capuchins to this day as seen in their inner city ministries, meal programs for the poor, and retreat centers that nourish the People of God with food for body and soul.

The Franciscan Order was founded by St. Francis of Assisi in 1209. With over five thousand followers in his lifetime, he inspired his energetic and talented friars toward the broad task of helping to transform every level of society. After Francis' death in 1226, it became increasingly clear that the charism given to Francis and his community could not be contained within one singular expression of Gospel life. In 1517 the Order was divided into autonomous branches, each following a valid, yet different, observance of the Franciscan Rule.
Since the 13th century, the friars of the “conventual” tradition have ministered primarily in urban centers. It was in the heart of the European cities where they touched all levels of society with the Good News of Christ Incarnate. Many of the large churches and ministry centers constructed in the earliest years of the Franciscan movement are still administered by the Conventual friars to this day.
Today, the Conventual Franciscans also minister in five provinces in North America. The St. Bonaventure Province is located in the Midwest with its headquarters in Chicago. Our priests and brothers are involved in parishes, education, evangelization, health care, chaplaincy and missionary work. Devotion to the Blessed Mother and Eucharistic Adoration are the foundations of our life of prayer, fraternity and charity.

The Discalced Carmelites are a religious order whose heritage reaches back to a community of hermits living on Mount Carmel in Palestine during the late 12th century. In 16th century Spain, St. Teresa of Jesus — with the assistance of St. John of the Cross — initiated the "Discalced Reform" within the Carmelite Order, which came to be recognized as a new, separate order.
The friars seek to live a life of faithful prayer, seeking union with God through a "life of allegiance to Jesus Christ." Our Constitutions mandate two hours of silent prayer every day. Our current provincial ministries include retreat work, spiritual direction, publication, shrine ministry (at Holy Hill), and mission work in Kenya. As brothers in community, we live as a family at the service of the Church — to bear a message of hope, to be a quiet but constant sign of God's presence in the world. In the company of Mary, Our Lady of Mount Carmel, we ponder the words of her Son and the mystery of his love.

In 1846, two children in the French Alps encountered a "Beautiful Lady" arrayed in light. Weeping, the lady spoke words of deep and loving concern for all her wayward, sinful children. She described the need for conversion — reconciliation with God — and implored the children to "Make this known to all my people."
Mary's apparition at La Salette, France, inspired the formation of the La Salette Missionaries — a religious community of priests and brothers dedicated to the ministry of reconciliation. Sharing a common life of prayer, fraternity and hospitality, La Salette Missionaries minister in Africa, Asia, Europe, North America and South America. "We, the La Salette priests and brothers serve not only in parishes, but also as hospital chaplains, teachers, counselors, youth ministers, and at shrines and retreat houses.
