Come and See Day – Exploring a Carmelite Vocation
Join us for a Come and See Day — a gentle opportunity to explore a Carmelite vocation with our friars or nuns through prayer, quiet reflection, and shared conversation.
Upcoming Provincial Chapter in May 2026
In May 2026, the friars of the Anglo‑Irish Province will gather for its Provincial Chapter, a time to reflect, elect leadership, and discern priorities for the coming years. We warmly ask for your prayers as the friars prepare for this moment of listening to the Spirit.
CAPIO – Carmelite Prisoners Interest Organization
CAPIO aims at restoring the human rights and dignity of prisoners and through improved services enance their spiritual growth and mutual respect for justice and peace.
Carmelite Prisoners Interest Organization is a faith based Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) founded by the Discalced Carmelite Order about two decades ago with a view to redressing the deplorable conditions of the prisons and prisoners in Nigeria.
CAPIO was the inspiration of the late Fr Michael Fitzgerald, OCD a Discalced Carmelite missionary. On visiting the prisons he was concerned at the conditions in which he found prisoners: chronic overcrowding, lack of basic washing and toilet facilities, poor food and abuse of prisoners human rights. He gathered a group of young lawyers, doctors and social workers to explore how the situation could be improved. CAPIO was the result of their conversations.
