I tried looking on www.ocd.pcn.net for active Carmelite communities, but the list on that site didn't specify whether they were active or cloistered. I was wondering if anybody could tell me of some communities. Oh, and btw, it doesn't matter if the communities aren't in the U.S.

Thank you so much!!

God bless,

Margaret

I have read the history of the Corpus Christi Carmelites--very interesting!


Here are some other active Carmelites:

Carmelite Sisters of the Eucharist--they have no website, but are listed on the Institute for Religious Life website. They seem to be an extremely small community.

Carmelite Sisters

Teresian Carmelites

Carmelite Missionary Sisters

Thank you so much, Ambrose! Do you, or anybody else know anything about this community? Thanks for the other communities, too.

Daughters of St. Joseph in Louisiana--an emerging community!!!

They have apostolates in teaching, nursing, and retreats. There are 8 Sisters here, 4 of which who teach at my school and 4 who teach at an elementary school.

Their most recent website was http://carmelitegeneralate.homestead.com/ but it's been disabled. I dont know why, but maybe it'll be back up again soon.

I love 'em.

Another small community with Carmelite links: Carmelite Community of the Word

I visited these Sisters about ten years ago. Nice group of women.

For another St. Louis area community with updates on sisters in formation. Follow the link to the latest newsletter to see the pics/stories of final profession, new novices, and renewal of vows.

There is also the Carmelite Sisters of Charity, a spanish community that i believe has a convent out in the Los Angeles area.

There are some cloistered Carmelites down here in Miami, too. I really don't know much about them. I'll see what I can find out.

Anyone know if Margaret is still looking?

No, I'm not looking anymore. It was kind of all of you to look for me, though, when I was searching for communities.
