BECOMING A LAY CARMELITE

 

The Lay Carmelite vocation is a call to live the Carmelite charism in the ordinary circumstances of family, work, parish, and daily life. Members seek a deeper life of prayer and union with God, inspired especially by the Prophet Elijah and the Blessed Virgin Mary and nourished by the spiritual tradition of Carmel.

 

Those interested in learning more are invited to visit our community website.
