Carmelite Monastery set to be demolished this summer
After the Carmelite Monastery on East Gore Road closed in 2020, it was set to be demolished. By the end of summer, the building could be completely gone.
Before the sisters went to different monasteries, they stripped the inside of the building and invited religious communities to take items they could use.

The sisters have given the property back to the Erie Catholic Diocese and they plan to keep it undeveloped to provide privacy for the priest retirement home that is located next door.
Father Christopher Singer said they are grateful to the many years of service that the Carmelite sisters gave to the Diocese of Erie.
