Life in Community

"They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and fellowship… and to prayer. " Acts 2.42, NRSV

"All must be friends, all must be loved, all must be held dear, all must be helped." St Teresa of Avila, Way of Perfection, 4.7

Community life is simple and authentic, where everyone feels at home, welcomed, known, appreciated, and are encouraged on the path they are following. 

Our communities are modeled on early Christian values based on Scripture. They include listening to the Word, unity, the Eucharist, liturgical prayer, and personal prayer.

Lay Carmelites do not live in community. They live with their families, but gather at a local church for a monthly meeting.

Life of Community

• attend Monthly Meetings regularly

• attend retreats

Prayer. Community. Service. Carmel.
