The Stella Maris Monastery, standing proudly on the slopes of Mount Carmel in Haifa, is one of the most important Catholic spiritual centers in the Holy Land. For centuries, this sacred place has been home to the Carmelite Order — a community devoted to prayer, contemplation, and service. Here, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, countless believers have found comfort, healing, and renewed strength through sincere prayer.

The monastery is built above the cave traditionally associated with the Prophet Elijah, making this site a powerful symbol of faith, spiritual courage, and divine presence. Pilgrims come here seeking inner peace, clarity of heart, and God’s blessing for their families and personal lives.

How we deliver your Prayer Requests with care and reverence

Your intentions are handled with the same devotion and respect as if you yourself were present in the holy places. Our mission is to help your prayer reach the sacred sites of the Holy Land and the historic Catholic churches where millions of believers have sought God’s grace for centuries.

When you submit a prayer request, we personally bring your intention to the church or shrine you selected. Every note, every Mass offering, every petition is delivered by hand — not digitally, not automatically, but through real, physical presence. We speak with the clergy, submit your written intention, and offer your donation in person, as is traditional in the Catholic Church.

This personal approach ensures:

Authenticity — your prayer is truly placed before the altar.
Respect — your intentions are handled quietly, reverently, and with confidentiality.
Tradition — offerings are given in the same way Catholics have done for generations: directly and in person.
Spiritual connection — your prayer becomes part of real liturgical worship, not just a symbolic gesture.

For many Catholics, especially those far from the Holy Land, this service provides a profound sense of closeness to the places where Jesus walked, taught, suffered, and rose from the dead. Your petition is carried into these sacred spaces with devotion — just as you would have done yourself.

Whether you request a Mass, a candle, a prayer to a saint, or an intention at a holy shrine, we make sure everything is done with integrity, faith, and the dignity your prayer deserves.
