Piccoli Fiori JMJ Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 You know, I never looked into Carmel, and I was thinking from the beginning I might either be Franciscan or Carmelite... Maybe I should find the nearest Carmel and make a short visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marieteresa Posted October 1, 2005 Author Share Posted October 1, 2005 (edited) That would be cool if you could make a visit....just to check it out. Also I am just wondering have any of you guys formally applied to Carmel? In JMJ Edited October 1, 2005 by Marieteresa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still retain the traditional habit and they are one of the few Carmels that still live the way St. Teresa of Avila wanted her communities to be.

My comp. doesn't support it very well, on dial-up here out in the country. I wanted to hear more about it. Does the community have a website?

Marieteresa Posted October 7, 2005 Author Share Posted October 7, 2005 Hey folkies, I though i would post this.....The Discalced Carmelites from the Monastery of St. Therese Clinton Township, Michigan (Archdiocese of Detroit) Although they do have a website, they do not have any pictures added. So I thought you guys would love to see these!
