The Carmelites— more formally known as The Brothers of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel— is a religious order of the Catholic Church in the medicant .
Our History
The Greek Monk, Phocas, records that “St. Berthold, “a monk white with age and invested with priestly dignity, came to Carmel in 1155, built a small chapel and collected ten brothers.
Carmelite Rule
The cornerstone of formation for the members of the Carmelite Family today as in centuries past is the Rule of St. Albert. The text was originally in the form of a letter, a formula vitae written
Welcome
As Carmelites we live our lives in allegiance to Jesus Christ and strive to serve him faithfully with a pure heart and a clear conscience. We seek the face of the living God in a contemplative attitude of prayer, fraternity, and service in the midst of the people.
We live these values under the protection, inspiration and guidance of Mary, the mother of Jesus, and Elijah, the prophet of Carmel.
