Carmelite week through the liturgy
Come spend a week with the Carmelite sisters
Celebrating Our Lady of Mount Carmel
Come and live a week rich in Carmelite feasts, drawing from the sources of our charism through the liturgy.
You will discover Our Lady of Mount Carmel, patroness of the order, and St. Elijah, the prophet who inspires the charism.
In the middle of the week, we celebrate the Carmelites of Compiègne, martyrs.
You are welcome to spend the entire week with us, or to come for just a few days or a single day.
