About Us

Welcome to the website of the Carmelite Spiritual Center in Darien, Illinois.   We are located at 8419 Bailey Road in Darien, Illinois. We believe that God is present in every person, event, and experience of our lives. Sometimes we need to get away or slow down to listen to our life – to the voice of God. The belief that God speaks through and embraces every experience of our life underlies all the programs we offer here at the Carmelite Spiritual Center.
