The Carmelites are an 800-year old Catholic religious family with hermetic orgins on Mount Carmel in the Holy Land. Although most following the Carmelite Way are not known in history, several have become revered doctors and saints of the Church, including St Teresa of Avila, St John of the Cross, St Therese of Lisieux, and Bl Titus Brandsma.
Lay Carmelites are the Third Order Secular branch of the Order. Ontario and NW New York Region is a cluster of twelve communities in the Carmelite Province of the Most Pure Heart of Mary (PCM).
