About Us
We are discerning and praying about the possibility of a Secular Discalced Carmelite Community in Ave Maria. A growing group from Ave Maria currently drives once a month to the nearest Carmelite community an hour away. If you are a professed (OCDS) or temporarily professed Secular Discalced Carmelite, or are interested in finding out more about the Carmelites, please contact us.
