The Discalced Carmelite Seculars of the Discalced Carmelite Order invite you to come and see what we are all about by joining us for our meetings in July, August, and September. Are you seeking a closer relationship with Jesus and a deeper prayer life? Do you have a devotion to Our Blessed Mother and an interest in the teachings of the Carmelite Saints? During the summer months, the Santa Cruz Community of Secular Discalced Carmelites welcomes visitors to attend our meetings and find out about our way of life in order to discern whether God is calling you to be part of the Carmelite religious order as a lay person. For more information and to reserve a space, please contact the OCDS Council president via email at [email protected]
