Our parish is a common community of Faith, Prayer and Witness. It is a family of God in which we find the Holy Spirit in each other. This is where we are spiritually fed by worship, celebration and fellowship.

CARMEL (Order of Discalced Carmelites): What is it All About?
Mt. Carmel in Holy Land, symbol for prayer, silence and solitude, has always attracted god-seeking people.
The Carmelite Order is one of the five ancient Religious Orders in the Catholic Church, and first one to be dedicated to Mary, who sought God's will in profound silence and did it with all her heart and thus became the mother of all the disciples of Jesus. There were always solitary hermits or communities of monks on Mount Carmel, living a life of prayer and contemplation, inspired by the life and spirit of prophet Elias.
