Monastery of Nuestra Señora del Monte Carmelo, Santiago de Compostela
Monasterio de Nuestra Señora del Monte Carmelo
What it is
A community of Contemplative Brothers of Carmel at the Monasterio de Nuestra Señora del Monte Carmelo in Santiago de Compostela (La Coruña), one of the enclosed houses supported by Fundación DeClausura.
What it needs
The brothers' church, a few meters from the cathedral of Santiago, needs a new sound system so that the liturgy can be heard. The appeal pays for its installation.
Before you act. The deadline shown for 'Un sistema de megafonía para la iglesia' (2026-10-31) had passed when checked, though the appeal was still open. The appeal pages show a target and a percentage raised, not the amount in euros.
About 200 timber ceiling beams in the first floor of the cloister are failing from age, damp and wood-boring insects; many must be replaced and the rest treated. The 'Apadrina una viga' (sponsor a beam) appeal prices each beam at 300 euros.
A ruined building in the convent orchard, beside a central city street, is shored up, damp and at risk of collapse. The appeal funds its urgent repair.
