“For prayer is nothing else than being
on terms of friendship with God.”
St. Teresa of Avilia
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.
