About the Discalced Carmelite Order 

Discalced Carmelites are a worldwide Roman Catholic religious order comprised of friars, nuns, and laity (traditionally known as the first, second and third orders) as well as apostolic congregations and ecclesial movements affiliated with the order. These men and women are heirs to the teaching and way of life of Teresa of Avila and John of the cross, dedicated to contemplation and to ministry in the church and in the world.

Internationally, Discalced Carmelites today number about 4,100 friars in 82 countries, 12,000 cloistered women in 98 countries, and some 40,000 lay Carmelites throughout the world. 

 
About the Discalced Carmelite Friars

The Discalced Carmelite Friars are a Roman Catholic religious order of brothers and priests, dedicated to a life of prayerful search for union with God and service to the church through a variety of ministries focused on spiritual development. The Washington Province of the Immaculate Heart of Mary serves the people of God in the Midwestern and Eastern United States and has a mission in Kenya to help establish Carmel there.
