Safeguarding the Traditional Latin Mass
Our Greatest Prayer This Side of Heaven

The Traditional Latin Mass is the greatest prayer this side of Heaven.

Without compromise and in spite of any restrictions, our Community of the future Our Lady Co-Redemptrix Carmelite Monastery will ensure that the Holy Sacrifice of the Latin Mass is prayed daily at our Traditional Carmelite Monastery.

All Catholics will be welcome to pray in our chapel and attend Holy Mass daily.

High Springs, Florida, the location of our new Traditional Carmelite Monastery building site, is known as the “Gateway to the Springs,” because of the many crystal-clear fresh water springs that inhabit the land. High Springs is about 30 minutes northwest of Gainesville in North Central Florida.

The many springs in this area include the famous Ginny Springs, Blue Springs, Poe Springs, the crystal-clear Ichetucknee River, and the Santa Fe River.
