Are you a Catholic layperson over the age of 18 (married or unmarried) or an ordained diocesan Priest or Deacon and feel called to Carmel?
Secular Order Carmelites are members of the Carmelite family of the 16th century reform of St. Teresa of Jesus and gather in canonically erected communities under the guidance and leadership of the Discalced Carmelite Order.
Under the protection of Our Lady of Mount Carmel and inspired by St. Teresa of Jesus and St. John of the Cross, Secular Order Carmelites make the commitment to the Discalced Carmelite Order to seek the face of God for the sake of the Church and the world.
Discalced Carmelite Seculars come from all walks of life, from every level of education and from every type of work.
If you feel called to Carmel and would like to attend this information session, please contact:
