Take part in this devotion with us this Saturday, March 7 and make these requirements on 5 First Saturdays in a row: Go to confession, receive Holy Communion, say five decades of the rosary, and keep Mary company for fifteen minutes meditating on the fifteen mysteries of the rosary.

Lay Carmelites
· We are members of the Most Pure Heart of Mary Province
· We are ordinary people on a journey of transformation
· We become a leaven for the transformation of the world
· Carmelites feel drawn to the Lord Jesus Christ and are invited to a deep, constant, personal and living relationship with him
· We embrace Mary - Our Lady - and the prophet Elijah as models
· We find support in an international spiritual family
We are pilgrims following an ancient path. Those who are drawn by the Carmelite Tradition are often pilgrims to places unknown, trusting the testimony of others who have taken the same ancient path. (The Searching Heart -John Welch, O.Carm)
The Call to Carmel is a Vocation
“Carmel is not an organization, even a Christian organization, but a Christian community committed to leading an evangelical life. This vocation, like all vocations, requires not only careful discernment, but careful maintenance as the grace of a vocation implies a commitment to perseverance in that vocation.” (Provincial Statutes I, 4:1)
The Carmelite Spirituality is based on a commitment “To live a life of allegiance to Jesus Christ and to serve him faithfully with a pure heart and a clear conscience,” inspired by St. Paul’s words and proposed by St. Albert as the foundation on which their way of life is constructed. (Con 14).
The Lay Carmelite Community is a spiritual way of life for those answering a special call from God to live their evangelical life under the direction of the Carmelite Order. Hoy Family Members meet on a regular basis and follow a rule of life and prayer. If you feel called to a deeper commitment of your Baptismal promises, feel free to visit the Holy Family Lay Carmelite community the 3rd Saturday of the month from 9:30am - 1:00pm in the Mulroy Room.
