Learn about the making of The Carmelite Virtual Choir
Technology is giving Carmelite Nuns around the world a chance to be unified without ever having to leave their monasteries. A Carmelite Nun from Reno, Sister Claire, wrote music to mark the 500th Anniversary of Saint Teresa’s birth. That music has united these women in a way that they might not have ever imagined.

Translation of “Salve, Regina”
Vita, dulcédo, et spes nostra, salve.
Ave María,
Ad te clamámus, éxsules, fílii Hevae.
Ad te suspirámus, geméntes et flentes
in hac lacrimárum valle.
Ave María,
Eia ergo, Advocáta nostra,
illos tuos misericórdes óculos
ad nos convérte.
Ave María,
Et Jesum, benedictum fructum ventris tui,
nobis, post hoc exsílium osténde.
Ave María,
O clemens: O pia: O dulcis
Virgo María.
Ave María!
Our life, our sweetness, and our hope.
Hail Mary,
To thee do we cry, poor banished children of
Eve.
to thee do we send up our sighs
mourning and weeping in this valley of tears.
Hail Mary,
Turn, then, most gracious advocate,
thine eyes of mercy toward us.
And after this our exile
show unto us the blessed fruit
of thy womb Jesus.
Hail Mary,
O clement: O loving:
O sweet Virgin Mary.
Hail Mary!
