Welcome to the Secular Order of Discalced Carmelites

La Bruna
The Secular Order of Discalced Carmelites (OCDS) welcomes those  of the faithful who,
by special vocation, undertake to live, in the world,  and evangelical life of fraternal communion with the friars and  nuns, and follow the example and teaching of the Carmelite  Saints.

Secular Carmelites come from all walks  of life, men and women, young and old, married and  single - each one trying to respond to God's call to
 "meditate  on the Lord's law, day and night".


As Secular Carmelites, we try to show God's love in our  everyday lives, wherever God leads us and with the people God gives us. 

We follow the
Rule of St  Albert, the OCDS  Constitutions, and  the Provincial Statutes (Washington Province of the Immaculate Heart of Mary)  which are used to help us transform  into the people that God intends us to be. 

“Prayer is nothing  else than an intimate sharing between friends; it means taking time frequently  
to be alone with Him who we know loves  us.”   St. Teresa of  Avila

Please Note:  There is a official OCD website dedicated to Discalced Carmelite Servants of God, Venerable, Blessed and Saints. Click: Postulator General for the Causes of Saints.  Click on the British flag if it does not come up in English.
