Welcome!
Carmel is a worldwide Christian
religious family that first came to Britain in 1242 and is alive and
active today with over forty communities of friars, religious sisters
and lay Carmelites in England, Scotland and Wales.
Carmelites seek to be contemplatives,
friends with God, 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; justice and peace work; and many
other apostolates. We are an active partner in the Carmelite Institute
of Britain and Ireland (CIBI).
Carmelite Family celebration with Generals at Aylesford
A special celebration of Carmelite spirituality was held at Aylesford Priory on 12th May at the start of meetings between the General Councils of the Carmelite and Discalced Carmelite Orders.
