Convent of the Discalced Carmelites of St. Joseph and St. Theresa of the Child Jesus
The Order of the Discalced Carmelites was established in Spain in 1562 and operated in Lithuania from 1638. During the Soviet occupation, it was closed. After the Restoration of Independence of Lithuania, several women willing to vow to God approached Archbishop of Kaunas, Cardinal Vincentas Sladkevičius and a senior of the Order of the Discalced Carmelites with a request to restore the convent in Lithuania. Nuns who came over from abroad in 1994 to restore the convent settled down temporarily in the former Paštuva presbytery. A new convent was designed by architect Regimantas Andriuškevičius. The building of unusual shapes symbolizes a centre of monastic life - Christ and His Church. Archbishop Sigitas Tamkevičius consecrated the cornerstone of the convent in 1996 and the new monastery in 2000. Currently, the convent is open to everyone willing to stay in silence and to pray. Visitors are accommodated in designated rooms and together with the sisters participate in the Holy Mass and the Liturgy of the Hours.
