Semi-Province of St. Thérèse of the Discalced Carmelite Friars
Submit your intentions for the All Souls Novena
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Most of the time when we speak about death, we associate it with loss, yet there is another important feeling that we do not talk about, which is love . . . Our Holy Father, St. John of the Cross, has a saying that can help us reflect on death. More than that, it helps us reflect on how we are living and preparing for the end of our life - if it is according to the teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ and his church.
Express your devotion to Our Lady of Mount Carmel and St. Thérèse
Bring home this Hand-Painted Wood Portable Shrine which was made as a replica of the Altarpieces created for the Discalced Carmelite Friars and their “Little Flower” parishes.
Our Friars
The Discalced Carmelite Friars are a community of men – priests and religious brothers – serving the Church through a life of contemplative prayer.
About Us
In our ministry we strive to foster growth in the spiritual life, helping men and women grow in friendship with God and with neighbor, all under the patronage of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel.
The Semi-Province of St. Thérèse consists of 15 Discalced Carmelite priests and religious brothers in two communities in Texas, 5 communities of Discalced Carmelite Nuns in five states, and the Secular Order of Discalced Carmelites (OCDS), who number over 800 members across 14 states.
