shannon Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 [quote name='MaterMisericordiae' timestamp='1348242606' post='2485044'] I would recommend the [url="http://www.holynamecarmel.org/"]Carmel in Denmark, WI[/url]. I was in contact by letters with the Prioress, Mother Mary Elizabeth. They are a beautiful order, but I realized soon after that I was not called to Carmel so I never visited. [/quote] Thank you for the response, I will keep that in mind. I did not have a chance to check back here until now, I will be spending a weekend in Loretto next.

Freedom Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 [quote name='AveMariaPurissima' timestamp='1337202065' post='2431367'] The Carmelites in Iron Mountain, MI are good. I was corresponding with them for a while. If you're interested I could post their address. [/quote] They say the Divine Office in English and Spanish?

Chiquitunga Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 [quote name='Freedom' timestamp='1350532914' post='2494318'] They say the Divine Office in English and Spanish? [/quote] Nope, just English, and sometimes Latin (like on special feast days) for Iron Mountain. The only Carmel I know of that alternates between an English and Spanish Office is the Carmel of Cristo Rey in San Francisco. The Carmels of JMJ in Valparaiso, NE - Elysburg, PA - & Canyon, CA pray the full Office (Carmelite rite) in Latin and the Rosary in English, Spanish & Latin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyOfSorrows Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 JMJ Hello shannon! I have visited Loretto, Denmark, and Buffalo. All for about a week each. Although I believe Loretto or Denmark may have more of what you're looking for...actually, maybe even more Denmark. You can message me if you have any specific questions about what to expect, especially since you're visiting Loretto soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StayingFaithful Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 The Carmelite Nuns of Cristo Rey in San Francisco recite the Divine Office in Spanish and English. They are a very traditional and joyful group wiht a blooming Novitiate. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StayingFaithful Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 I wanted to add that the Carmel of Cristo Rey is where Valparaiso is from (that is, Cristo Rey founded Las Vegas and from LV the foundation Nuns went to went to Nebraska). It is Cristo Rey that is from the time of the Cristeros War...as in For Greater Glory, the movie. I am commenting on this because I think I read somewhere that Valparaiso was from the Cristeros War and thought this might need clarification. PS I found it very interesting the distinction made between the Mexican and Spanish Carmels. Thanks to all for so much helpful information.

VeniJesuAmorMi Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 I came across a blog with a list of 1990 Carmels; it's a nice page with some other information. I was wondering if anyone knows anything that they could share about the Carmel in Alexandria, South Dakota? (The Monastery of Our Mother of Mercy and St. Joseph.) May God reward you!

VeniJesuAmorMi Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Also to add this website: [url="http://friendsofcarmeljmj.org/enter/"]http://friendsofcarmeljmj.org/enter/[/url] It's for the Elysburg Carmel. They are having a Solemn Profession on November 24th (it will certainly be worth going if your near the area!) They are also having a fun little event on November 1st for All Saints.

Graciela Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 (edited) The OCarm monastery in Christoval Tx was not founded by the Alexandria SD Carmel as the latter is a Discalced Carmelite monastery founded from Buffalo NY. There is an OCarm monastery in Wahpeton ND from which the Christoval monastery was founded. Alexandria is 1990 constitutions and uses Latin for much of the Divine Office. I received their newsletter and was delighted at the pictures showing that they have[i] [/i]2 beagles, chickens, and maybe goats if I remember correctly. They have been growing well and may be planning to make a foundation. This was mentioned in another thread, I think.

That is great that Alexandria is growing so much-the latin Office seems to appeal to many young girls with a Carmelite calling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[url="http://discalcedcarmelites1990.blogspot.com"]http://discalcedcarm...90.blogspot.com[/url] [/quote] That's a blog of a friend of mine! It was an attempt to make an English version of this one - [url="http://carmelitasdescalzas1990.blogspot.com/"]http://carmelitasdes...0.blogspot.com/[/url] It's only a start for now though. Yes, Alexandria is in the midst of planning a new foundation They are also hoping to build a proper monastery for themselves in pasture land not far from where they're at. See the second to last page [url="http://www.sfcatholic.org/BishopsBulletin/Issues/pdfs/12OctoberBulletinB.pdf"]here[/url]. Someone from my area recently made her Solemn Profession there. They have the whole Divine Office (of the ordinary/new rite) in Latin, as Buffalo does. They were founded from them in 1997. One of their Sisters was in the Incarnation in Avila for 16 years (originally from the US) when she felt called to help found the SD Carmel. Pretty neat! p.s. they wear the alpargatas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeniJesuAmorMi Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 God reward you all for the information! Its exciting to hear of another Carmel that needs to make another foundation. I've heard so much about the Carmels of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, and for others to have so many vocations is just great. I'm going to have to keep updated on this one too!

I wonder then if some of the traditions they have there in Alexandria (I don't know of them) came from this Sister; as she did come from the Carmel in Avila. Do you know of any traditions that they have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
