Halfway to Heaven

The Carthusians, established 900 years ago by St. Bruno, represent the most enclosed religious order in the Catholic Church, embodying a life of solitude and continuous prayer. They trace their spiritual lineage to early Christians and the Desert Fathers, maintaining a unique tradition of unwavering commitment to their way of life. Renowned for their purity and stability, they are considered 'the most precious jewel in the Church's crown,' highlighting their significance within Catholicism.
