Monastery of Sagrado Corazón de Jesús y de la Virgen de Gracia, Caudete
Monasterio del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús y de la Virgen de Gracia
What it is
A community of Carmelite nuns (Ancient Observance) at the Monasterio del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús y de la Virgen de Gracia in Caudete (Albacete), one of the enclosed houses supported by Fundación DeClausura.
What it needs
The nuns grow their own vegetables and are asking for help to buy a small tractor for the kitchen garden.
Before you act. The deadline shown for 'Apoyo para la compra de un mini tractor para su huerto' (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.
