The Carmelite is called to live amid the tension of these two ideals: the abiding presence of God, and the call to be present in the world.

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.
