Discalced Carmelite Friars Province of St. Thérèse
Submit your intentions for the All Souls Novena
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
In times of mourning it feels as though a part of us has died; such is the depth of the grief we endure. We can affirm that in such moments grief unites us—family, friends, and even mere acquaintances—as if we were members of a single human family, standing in solidarity with one another as we face that common, inevitable destiny: death. Grief renders us humble, powerless, and compassionate.
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.
