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.

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 (for the 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 how we know loves us." St. Teresa of Avila
