Chiquitunga Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 It says there are three Carmelite associations in the US, but there are four, the fourth being the [url="http://www.carmelitenunsstjoseph.org/"]St. Joseph Association[/url] And there are a handful of good Carmels in no association at all. Just sayin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truthfinder Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 For the men, there really aren't too many Carmelites that are more enclosed. That was part of the Discalced reform that the men actually became less eremetical. So if you wanted a more enclosed community, I believe there are really only three communities in the U.S.: Carmelite Hermits: http://www.carmelitehermits.org/ The Carmelite Monks in Wyoming: http://www.carmelitemonks.org/ and Carmelite Hermitage of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Minnesota: http://www.decorcarmeli.com That's it for men, and they all followed the Calced Carmelite Rule. Wyoming and Minnesota are trying to renew the Rite of the Holy Sepulchre for the Mass, I don't know about the Hermits. and FCC, about Port Tobacco. I've heard good things about them. They are different than the common Carmelite nun because they live in hermitages, not cells. Technically closer to the Rule of St. Albert, but not generally practised by the nuns - doesn't mean bad, just different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhuturePriest Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I knew that it would be most likely female. I'm just trying to follow Saint John of the Cross's example and reform, reform, reform! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
