[right][snapback]756270[/snapback][/right] [/quote] hey missy I am just wondering what attracts you to the Carmelites of the most sacred heart? Is it something about its charism or work? Also does anyone know about a letter of good health? Carmel requires that you have that inorder to enter but most people dont have the foggiest clue what it is. I dont know if it involves a physical, blood work etc. Any Insight would be much appreciated! Also today is St. Teresa of Avila's feast day! Reformer of the Carmelite Order!

ForHimAlone Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 Has anyone looked into the Discalced Carmelites in Denmark, Wisconsin. They look like a very orthodox community- they still wear the original habit, have very strict enclosure, etc. I've heard nothing but wonderful things about them. They do not have a website, but I've been in contact though mail. Anyone else contacted them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
