The Carmelite Friary is located just above the ancient and beautiful town of Kinsale. Carmelites are associated with the town since the early 14th centry. Today the friary church of Our Lady of Mount Carmel is a place of worship, prayer and tranquility.

In 2007 the new centre of spirituality was opened. The former novitiate house of the Order in Ireland, was completely reconstructed from 2004 to 2006.

The Friary Centre will provide a place of Carmelite spirituality in the Mesters area.
