MarysLittleFlower Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Has anyone discerned with them? What is it like? What is their age limit? I am just investigating communities that I'd be potentially interested in... Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feankie Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Do they have a website? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AveMariaPurissima Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Do they have a website? I don't think so, but there is this site that is run by friends of the community: http://www.friendsofcarmeljmj.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Paul Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Did they re model their website? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriela Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 I believe the age limit is 35. I had one letter exchange with them and did not continue discernment with them after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IgnatiusofLoyola Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Did they re model their website? I don't believe the Elysburg Carmel has ever had a Web site of its own, only the one run by its friends/supporters. If I am am wrong about this, please correct me.

SNJM Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 I I have a client who briefly discerned with them. She is now in communication with Mother Prioress at the Philadelphia Carmel, and is having a very positive experience. She has shared her letters with me and I recommend that Carmel to anyone looking for that way of Carmelite life. As an "outsider," I have been especially impressed and delighted to see such warmth extended to a young woman in discernment. Rose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they have the Latin Mass too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vee Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 They are indeed a different Carmel within the State of Pennsylvania. Actually Pennsylvania has three good Carmels that I know of. Elysburg, Philly and Erie. Lucky State! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cherie Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Why don't you consider Loretto a good Carmel?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cherie Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Haha, no prob. They're in my home diocese, and my family is super close to the community, so I'm a little protective of them. If you can't tell. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNJM Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 These are all great Carmels!!!!! I wish I could say more about the Jesus, Mary & Joseph Carmels (I believe they have three), but they have made information for prospective discerners almost impossible.

If you can't tell. I noticed! What a blessing for you to them in your home diocese and what a blessing for them to have such caring people looking out for them!
