Secular Order of Discalced Carmelites Nottingham Diocese
St Elizabeth of the Trinity Community, Nottingham
St Edith Stein Community, Derby
Welcome to our website.
We are groups of lay Catholics in the Nottingham Diocese who are called to live their baptism to the full as members of the world-wide Carmelite family.
These pages will give you some idea of who we are, how we live and what inspires us in our attempt to be followers of Jesus.
The Carmelite Contemplative Circles (Online) are open to anyone interested in Carmel’s 800-year old tradition. A new initiative by the Centre for Applied Carmelite Spirituality especially helpful during this time of isolation due to Covid.
Despite the many difficulties and hardships of this year because of the pandemic, the Secular Carmelite group in Nottingham has continued to grow and indeed, through God’s grace and care, to thrive.
Reflections on joining Carmel and what the Carmelite life involves from local members
Committing our lives to God through the promise “to live in the spirit of the Evangelical Counsels and the Beatitudes” doesn’t add anything to our baptism – it’s the way to live them fully
In the Nottingham Diocese there are two closely linked but autonomous communities of Secular Carmelites.
We run Carmelite Reading groups at Beeston, Bulwell and Lincoln. Why not come and join us?
