Welcome

Carmelites are 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. The Carmelite Familiy in Britain is currently engaged in retreats and spiritual development, parishes, prison, hospital and university chaplaincy, counselling, teaching and is an active partner in the Carmelite Insitute of Britain and Ireland (CIBI).

On our site you will find resources and information about our past and our present. Perhaps we might be a part of each other's future.
