Welcome!

We are a group of Catholic Men and Women serving the Lord in union with Mary, the Mother of God. Our main vocation is a life of prayer and service, seeking to live in the presence of God in our secular lives.

Prayer to Our Lady of Mount Carmel

Gentle Mother, Our Lady of Mount Carmel, you opened your heart to God and brought forth our Savior, Christ the Lord.  Holy Mary, help us to be people of faith, who see God’s presence within and around us.

Inspire us to see the Face of God in our family and friends - and in all people.  Virgin Mother, as you embrace us with the mantle of your love, give us the grace to see God’s action and will in times of light and darkness, and in the peaks and valleys of our climb to God’s holy mountain.

Be with us now, in our hour of need, Beautiful Flower of Carmel.  Be our Mother!  God will not say “no” to you, because you, Gracious Lady, said “Yes” to him.  Our Lady of Mount Carmel, pray for us.
