- The Nuns are building a monastery to last a thousand years. Inspired by their Carmelite roots in Spain and the colonial architectural style of their local surroundings in Gettysburg, PA, the Nuns have chosen to use only the most traditional methods of stone laying and timber framing. Their goal is to provide a warm and loving home for our Beloved Lord, a place to honor and serve Him all the days of their lives.
Please consider supporting our dear Nuns and their project. Visit www.fairfieldcarmelites.org to learn more!

7:02 "I kept appealing to the architects that not just the obvious places should be beautiful. I want the janitor's room to be beautiful" is such a knowing and deep comment exemplifying this project.
Amen all work has dignity, and God is everywhere, let us never forget to honor Him in all we do
That monastery is going to save millions of souls stay strong remain independent tell the federation to take a hike.
Amen! Bless you.
I was thinking only the other day how I wish more people were building with love, faith and devotion as their guides, rather than money, convenience and greed. How wonderful places would look. Then I found this by chance today. God bless all involved. I would love to visit one day. 🙏🏻
May God reward the Carmelites and their monastery that will last a thousand years!
This project has touched my heart! I am a new catholic convert and I say yes to building a catholic structure that will last many lifetimes - Truth goodness and beauty in a building! I am in tears, but of joy, to see something like this being built in a chaotic world! God bless the Carmelite sisters! Santa Teresa de Avila las guía desde el cielo!
The world is pretty crazy right now, and it's lovely to hear these sisters speak of beauty, and building to last a thousand years.
This is such a blessing. St Joseph pray for us. Glory be to the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost amen amen amen.
Bless you oh my precious Sisters!! So remarkable! Building this great Convent is a symbol of your wonderful gift to the world. Bless you a million times over!
It is inspiring to watch the sister's live out an authentic Carmelite-Monastic life and witness to Christ.
Wow, Praise my soul the King of Heaven.
Please pray for Bishop Schnieder, Fr. Altman, Fr. Trun, Fr. Peek, Fr. Jack and priest to be Timothy Watts, thank you.
To think.....these formidable monasteries littered the countryside of Europe for centuries....
Praised be Jesus Christ now and forever!
God bless the Fairfield Carmelites.
This is the best video I’ve seen on the internet this year.
This is how I wish we would go back to building our homes as well. I hope this inspires more return to authenticity, durability, beauty in the details
I'm so moved by this project. God bless you all
My heart was filled with joy! This is the vision I have for the lay community I want to build in TN!
So inspiring to hear both Mothers' voices! Such a blessing to be able to work on this monastery.
Wow. This is so beautiful. I am so glad to know this exists.
Nice to see the horses. I am a lapsed catholic convert, need to get things set right. I live alone in a tiny home and farm and log with draft horses, my Gentle Giants. I do a lot of thinking about things, and this video also gives me much to ponder. If I lived close by I would volunteer my horses and my time to help them with the farming side.
If the sisters could say a little prayer for me I would appreciate it.
The power of whole-hearted, loving dedication to serving Jesus, to be being clear in one's divine purpose, persistent in carrying it out, and the power of architecture and sacred labor, all that and more demonstrated here. The nuns prayerful, loving focus of pray creates the chalice for the Lord to express and reach out far beyond them. Beautiful.
Beautiful! God Bless you Sisters! Your prayers are working!
The concept that buildings can be some of the best teachers has really been lost in our times. I love all you women so much! I am coming to PA soon, with construction experience, maybe I can get involved with the builders?!
Seeing this brought me near to tears and moved my heart to turn back to serving the Lord with my life. Thank you, Mothers and Sisters, for all that you're doing, and may God love you
Beautiful, inspiring and I am crying.
Simplicity is so powerful!
This is absolutely incredible. May God bless you all.
Thank you for responding to His call and echoing His beauty in your lives and in your buildings... wow... prayers for your community-
Fantastic and beautiful. God bless you sisters in your determination!
That is so impressive. Thank You so much and may God bless You, dear Sisters❤
Absolutely lovely. Thank you so much for this video, and to the sisters for their determination.
So lovely my heart felt peace hearing and seeing this, thank you !
Amazing.
Of course it is in Gettyburg.....Where Our Lady appeared to President Washington. Amen.
Absolutely inspiring.
Beautiful! God bless ALL of you!🙏❤️
So beautiful and inspiring.
Amazing!
Beautiful
Deo gratias!
so much impressing - best wishes and prayers from Austria!
I have made donations to the Carmelite sister’s project, and plan to continue sending funds to assist with their effort. I had the opportunity to visit in Sept 2023, and I can assure you that what they have set out to do, and what they have accomplished is impressive indeed.
Praise God for these wonderful people and this beautiful ministry! Such a heartwarming story and so beautifully told by the videographer. Well done!
They are very lucky to being called and chosen to be brides of Jesus in Heaven. I were born under Bad star, but I do the best I could to be lowly servant of people, So help me, God.
God bless you
His testimony at 5:00 brought me to tears
Absolutely based
We tend to forget how the sacred spaces change us... that is why many of our catholic spaces have turned utilitarian and ugly and frankly, even disposable. Beauty and authenticity should be everywhere, not just in a chapel. I love this sacred geography!! :)
St. Paul: "I have planted, Apollo watered, but God gave the increase. Therefore, neither he that planteth is any thing, nor he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. Now he that planteth, and he that watereth, are one. And every man shall receive his own reward, according to his own labour. For we are God's coadjutors: you are God's husbandry; you are God's building. According to the grace of God that is given to me, as a wise architect, I have laid the foundation; and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. For other foundation no man can lay, but that which is laid; which is Christ Jesus." (I Cor. 3:6-11).
God bless you Father! I hope you are doing well. I 've learned about you, and Sister from Polish hermit s. Bruna of Maria. God is great.

So, at this moment in history, we have artificial intelligence, quantum computers, CRISPER Gene-Editing, the James Webb Space Telescope, etc...; but we can no longer construct a Monastery building from stone?! 😂 Thank you, blessed Sistets, firstly, for having sacrificed your lives for Christ and His Mystical Body; and secondly, for your steadfast dedication to constructing a true Monastery, made only of stone and wood - to serve as both a sign of, and inspiration toward, that spiritual stability that comes from a life of prayer and work, in the silent, hidden life of the cloister. God Bless You!!!❤
Sadly ours in New Orleans lasted 100 years and built a little city
Can anyone point me to a tutorial showing how to build this way, so others may follow?
what wood is used to create the windows and doors so they last many years as well?
This video expresses well the universal relationship between architecture and the quality of life of the humans who occupy it. Unfortunately, that genius then seems to turn immediately into a Pennsylvania Dutch/Amish way of life. Nice enough, for sure, but does not speak to most of us today. (But I'll bet those Pennsylvania Dutch/Amish nuns have exchanged horses and buggies for modern vehicles.)
may i ask - does anyone know who made this film? gorgeous work
Yes, we worked with Spirit Juice out of Chicago. They're an amazing Catholic film company and we are so grateful for their help.
website down?
it is, unfortunately. We are trying to fix it!
Hopefully Francis Bergoglio won't cancel the convent! 🤞🙏
Have some faith in the Jesus’ Catholic Church and the Vicar of Christ!
@@BullSheeper The true Catholic Church of Jesus Christ is eclipsed by the conciliar sect whose head is Frank Bergoglio, a notorius homoheretic!
Very sad. Once they have less than 7 sisters...
The CATHOLIC CHURCH FAILED THE FAITHFUL IN COVID AND THEY LOST THEM
@mattfradd this reminds me of your plans for the Church dedicated to our Blessed Mother. @pintswithaquinas
Beautiful
