JUCAR Testimonials

Testimonials from members of the Joliet Our Lady of Mount Carmel JUCAR program.

As they grow in Carmel, Carmel grows in them.

I recently had the privilege of spending time with a vibrant group of young adults from the JUCAR (Juventud Carmelita) youth group at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Parish in Joliet, Illinois. Right away, I was struck by their joy—real, tangible joy—and their deep love for Carmel. It wasn’t just something they talked about; it radiated from who they were.
