About Us

emailshieldThe Carmelite Province of the Most Pure Heart of Mary is a religious community of men in the Catholic Church, whose members, responding to the hunger for God in themselves and in the world, answer an interior call to prayer, community and ministry.

We embrace an eight century contemplative prophetic tradition of Gospel living, patterned on the Carmelite Rule and inspired by Elijah and Mary. As contemplatives, we seek to live consciously in the presence of God and to affirm and challenge one another by living a prayerful life in common. As prophets, we walk with people, announcing God’s presence, denouncing oppression, and promoting the well-being of the human family, as we serve in pastoral, educational, spiritual, and other creative ministries in the United States, Canada, Mexico and Peru.
