Any other Carmelites here?

[Heather914]

I just went to my first meeting with the Lay Carmelites at my church today. I really enjoyed it! Is anyone else here a Carmelite?

I am in formation with the Secular Carmelites (OCDS) and just received the scapular last month In two more years I can make temporary promises.

There are a number of us active on the Forums, both T.O.C. and O.C.D.S. I’m glad you enjoyed your experience and hope you come back for another visit.

Hello, I am a fully professed Third Order Carmelite. You are at the start of a wonderful journey, let the Holy Spirit guide you.

 

[Mary_Ellen]

Hi there. I hope to be fully professed in March.

 

[Sirach2]

Add me to the list . . .

I’m fully professed for over thirty years.

May you discern this vocational and ask our Lady of Mt. Carmel to guide you in this decision.

I tried at two different locations. I went month after month but they never got around to giving me any formation or a least a timetable of what to expect. I finally gave up in frustration.

Best wishes for your journey.

Heather,

I have been a Third Order Lay Carmelite since 1975. I am so grateful for all the blessings I have received on this journey.

Peace,

Dorothy
