Letters to the Carmelite Family

To mark significant occasions letters to the whole Carmelite Family are written by the Prior General or gatherings of the Order (such as at a General Chapter). These letters are often beautiful reflections on a particular theme, and are addressed to Carmelites worldwide to encourage reflection. Some of these letters are listed below [this page awaits further development].

2011

  • Final Message from the General Congregation of the Order

2010

  • "I commend my poor and my sick to you" - Letter from the Prior General on the occasion of the Beatification of Father Angelo Paoli
