Welcome
Carmel is a worldwide religious family that first came to Britain in 1242 and is alive and active today with over 40 communities of friars, religious sisters and lay Carmelites in England, Scotland and Wales.
Carmelites seek to be contemplatives who form praying communities at the service of all God's people. Reading the signs of the times we are engaged in many different ministries of service and presence: retreats and spiritual development; parishes; prison, hospital and university chaplaincy; counselling; teaching and research; publishing and broadcasting; ecumenism and interfaith dialogue; and many other apostolates. We are an active partner in the Carmelite Institute of Britain and Ireland (CIBI).
Over 1200 people expected for Ebor Lecture
A lecture to be given by the BBC's Economics Editor Robert Peston in a series of lectures co-sponsored by the Carmelites is attracting a lot of interest and requests for more than 1200 tickets.
