The Carmelite nuns at West Launceston are aged between 33 and 90. The newest sister joined the monastery only two years ago; the longest-serving has been with the order since 1948. Before
taking their vows, the women worked or studied in law, medicine, pharmacy, nursing, economics, and fine art. Now, they are entirely occupied with their relationship with God. Selected
laypeople deliver groceries and other necessities; they will only leave the monastery in the case of medical need.
