Carmel of Our Lady of the Mountains: Reno, Nevada
On August 12, 1954, four nuns holding one-way tickets for Reno, Nevada, left the Carmelite Monastery in Indianapolis. The next four nuns followed a few days later, and Carmelite life took root in a small house on the Feast of St. Bartholomew. Founding Bishop Robert J. Dwyer encouraged the building of a permanent monastery, which was accomplished by 1958.
Work at the Carmel of Reno is as varied as the talents of the sisters who compose the community. It is a way of joining in solidarity with all those whose daily labor is necessary for their survival; it is a means of financial support; and it is a way to share Carmelite spirituality with the wider community. The sisters have operated a printery (Carmel of Reno Printshop) since the 1950s; having developed expertise on job work (letterheads, business cards, etc.), they also essayed some creative printing, paving the way for their Carmel of Reno Cards, using the sisters' own designs to create a greeting cards ministry.
The community is blessed with an abundance of creative and artistic talent: artists, musicians, writers, dancers, gardeners and flower arrangers, all of whose talents are used in the service of community and to give praise and glory to God. Art work is featured on cards and decorates the interior of the monastery. Music is composed and played for liturgical celebrations and for community gatherings. Articles and books share the ministry of the word and the fruit of lived experience with those inside and beyond their Carmelite communities.
