Carmelites in Action: Diversity of Missions & Ministries: Parishes


The parish is the place where Jesus touches our lives through the sacraments ... Jesus is the center of our lives. Fr. David Dillon, O.Carm., St. Matthew Church Glendale Heights, IL

Across the United States, Carmelite friars nurture faith communities in 33 parishes. When our friars first came to the United States in 1864, we worked in struggling parishes with German immigrants. Today, in places as diverse as Gurnee, Illinois and Houston, Texas we continue our pastoral work, serving today's immigrants and helping all parishioners deepen their relationship with God and reach out to those in need.

The kingdom is not later, it is right now, in process. It is essentially the presence of God in our lives. Fr. Raymond Corkery, Our Lady of Mount Carmel Joliet, IL
Read about one of our parishes
Our parishes have a wide range of activities for families, youth, and seniors from Bible classes to childcare, Cub Scouts to Prayer Hotlines, social justice committees to the Legion of Mary.

It is the hope of the Carmelites that we impart and share with the parish community here the unique spirit that comes from the venerable order of Carmelites. Fr. Sebastian Meyer, O. Carm, Our lady of Mount Carmel Fairfield, CA
