Welcome to the website of the Irish Province of the Teresian (Discalced) Carmelite Order.

The Teresian Carmelites are a world-wide Religious Order which originated on
Mount Carmel in the Holy Land, eight hundred years ago.

The Carmelite family is made up of: Friars (priests and brothers), Contemplative Nuns,
Secular Order Carmelites and associated lay people.

This website of the friars of the Irish Province, will keep you in touch with the various branches
of the Order in Ireland and with our work and ministry.

We hope you enjoy finding out more about us and about our way of life.

For Carmelites, prayer is our essential chrism and we have a special place in our daily prayers
for all who are in any way associated with the Carmelite family.

With prayerful good wishes and every blessing.
 

Michael McGoldrick OCD - Provincial
