Totus Tuus Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 The sisters I was talking about in Alexandria, SD are from the Buffalo Carmel. I'm not sure if Buffalo is their "motherhouse" or if they're autonomous, but I think Alexandria is technically a daughter house, and I know that Buffalo is her founder.

therese Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 [quote name='jiyoung' date='Sep 5 2005, 11:58 PM']I'm discerning with the Carmelite Sisters of the Most Sacred Heart of Los Angeles in Alhambra, CA...well actually I'm just discerning, but I'm investigating them (for lack of a better word). They're great! And they have beautiful habits. They're not cloistered though, I'm pretty sure.

Marieteresa Posted September 30, 2005 Author Share Posted September 30, 2005 zabbazooey which carmel are you going to visit? They do they have a website? Also yes the buffalo carmel did found the Alexandria Carmel. The Carmel Iam discerning is near Grand Rapids and they founded the Buffalo Carmel. So there all connected.

The nearest thing to active Carmelites, are the Carmel priests in Aussie (just across the ditch, lol.)
