Carmelites in Action: Diversity of Missions & Ministries


From college campuses to military chapels, and from high school teaching to psychotherapy, Carmelite friars live out our commitment in a wide variety of services. Whatever the job, we bring zeal for the Lord.

As Carmelites, we don't focus on one ministry, such as teaching, or one way of service, such as pastoral work. Instead, we ask each friar to discern with the community where his talents can best be used for the needs of the world and the Church.

We're AIDS ministers, college teachers, communications professionals, counselors, foreign missionaries, hospital chaplains, peace and justice coordinators, police and firefighter chaplains, prison ministers, retreat directors and spiritual directors.

We work in cities and rural areas, institutions and streets, colleges and migrant farms. We minister with those who have much and those who have almost nothing. Like Elijah, we continue to ask others to make a choice -- for God, life, growth, and wholeness -- until the reign of God is established.

The faith of those who journey with us inspires us and gives us hope for the journey.
