"Carmel Teaches the Church how to Pray." - Pope Francis

The Carmelite Family…

Religious painting showing clergy and nuns gathered around a central Madonna and Child above the clouds, with figures kneeling and standing in robes.

The surprising breadth of Carmelite life and ministry around the world.
It’s easy to forget just how large the Carmelite family actually is. Looking only at the O.Carm. Carmelites, the Carmelites of the Ancient Observance, there are 20 provinces around the world!

The second is what it means to live in the Church.
And the third is purity.
