I have just received an invitation from the Seattle Carmelites to visit. I know that they are part of the Association of Mary, Queen of Carmel (21 monasteries) and that they follow the 1991 Constitutions.

Does anyone have any other info on them?? They don't have a website, although they are listed on the VocationSearch site.

Thank you for your offer. I can contact them myself though. I was just wondering if anyone knew them personally or had been on a visit to them?

Hey missy,

I think at one time I contacted them via phone perhaps...but was a while ago. Them seemed really nice! I am happy that you receive a invite!

I've attended Mass there with a friend. It was lovely. The sisters were behind a grate and we caught a glimpse of them. Shoreline is nice.

Thanks all - I have found a photo of their nuns.



and here is one of a nun named Sister Emmanuel from their order with Pope Benedict. According to the news article, she knew him when he was first a parish priest.
