History

The Order of Carmelites

Carmelites follow Jesus Christ by living the evangelical vows of poverty, chastity and obedience. They work in 26 nations and are especially expanding in third world countries among the poor and the underdeveloped. From college campuses to military chapels, and from high school teaching to psychotherapy, Carmelite friars live out their commitment in a wide variety of services. They are AIDS ministers, college teachers, communications professionals, counselors, foreign missionaries, hospital chaplains, peace and justice coordinators, police

and firefighter chaplains, prison ministers, retreat directors and spiritual directors. They minister with those who have much and those who have almost nothing. Like Elijah, they continue to ask others to make a choice — for God, life, growth, and wholeness — until the reign of God is established.

All Carmelites in ministry seek to announce God’s presence within the human experience and denounce whatever injustice limits God’s presence among His children.
