FEATURED ARTICLES
Secular Carmelites at Little Flower
Did you know…
That many religious orders in the Catholic Church
consist of three orders? Our Discalced Carmelite fri-
ars and the cloistered Dis-
calced Carmelite nuns in their
convent in San Antonio are
blessed to be affiliated with a
third order of secular Carmel-
ites.
The mission of these third
order men and women is to
live the Carmelite charism “in
the world” instead of in a rectory or convent. Secular
Discalced Carmelites study the writings of the Car-
melite saints, attend daily mass, pray the Liturgy of
the Hours, and set aside 30 minutes a day for addi-
tional prayer. The com-
munity meets one day a
month for fellowship,
prayer, and Carmelite
formation.
Becoming a secular Car-
melite is a lifetime com-
mitment to prayer and devotion to Carmelite spiritu-
ality. If this life appeals to you, please contact the
local formation director who can answer your ques-
tions and invite you to their upcoming annual inquir-
er events.
