Did You Know?
Some of our parishioners belong to the Secular Order of Discalced Carmelites which is a third order of the Carmelite family of the 16th century reform of St. Teresa of Jesus. Discalced means shoeless. St. Teresa’s followers wore sandals rather than shoes, a practice which distinguished them from Carmelites of the Ancient Observance. These followers are present in the modern world as friars, enclosed nuns and seculars.
Discalced Carmelite Seculars come from all walks of life, from every level of education and from every type of work. They are Catholic laypersons over the age of 18 (married or unmarried) or ordained diocesan priests or deacons.
There are more than 45,000 Discalced Carmelite Seculars worldwide and more than 6,000 in the United States. They gather in canonically erected communities or recognized study groups under the guidance and leadership of the order.
Recently, our very own Ingrid Close, a lay member of the Carmelite Order, made vows of chastity and obedience to God on the Feast of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel at the Carmelite Monastery in Savannah. Here is a brief video of part of the Mass and reception that followed:

CATHOLIC WEB LINKS
Note: The Internet is rich with information if you know where to find it. As many of you know, there is both good and evil since the Internet is not governed or controlled except in countries that do not embrace freedom (even they find it hard). Just as in our daily lives, we must watch what is presented before us and judge it’s merits. It becomes difficult at times since the enemy (Satan) can be very tricky. Presented here is a website created using a list compiled by Our Sunday Visitor, a well respected Catholic publishing company. You can be assured they have verified these sites as being in conformance with our Catholic heritage.
