truthfinder Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 In case anyone is interested, the Carmel of St. Joseph in St. Agatha just launched a new website: [url="http://www.thecarmel.ca"]Carmel of St. Joseph[/url]. They had a very basic one for a while and finally put this one up. Very nice, actually. I may be wrong but I think they are 1990's Constitutions, founded several monasteries, and seem to have quite a few new vocations themselves. God Bless

remaoung Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 They're from 1991 constitutions, in fact all the Carmel in Canada are from 1991 Constituiton. That I was told by the sisters. God bless.
Mari Therese Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 Very cool, I think that they are located in the diocese that I will be moving to soon.

They have founded a Carmel in Armstrong, B.C. who are now building a new, proper monastery and they have 8 professed nuns. I think they too will have a growth spurt of sorts soon. God Bless

God Bless[/quote] I was in contact with Reverend Mother from the Agatha Carmel and she said that they are nearly full and that is why they didn't want any older vocations - they want to save the spots for younger women. She is a very sweet woman and phoned me personally to let me know why she was not considering my application. I think this would be a good community for a younger woman who wants a Carmel to join.
Piccoli Fiori JMJ Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 The adoration book that they have for sale [url="http://www.thecarmel.ca/specialprojects.aspx"]here[/url] looks wonderful. I wonder how I could get one this side of the border...

And it would be cheaper than for us Canadians whose dollar dropped below yours.

I'll have to figure out how to do that (no long distance here at home). I suppose I could go get a calling card...
