The Lay Carmelite Order of the Blessed Virgin Mary (Historically known as the Third Order) is an association mainly of laypersons.

The Third Order Carmelites are neither a prayer group or social group. It is a vocation. It is a call to learn and to live a way of life that is a dedication to Prayer, Community, and Service. All Carmelites seek to live in allegiance to Jesus Christ.

Would you like to find inspiration for the journey closer to God as you grow in your prayer through the Carmelite vocation?
